On gravity at St Albans beer festival 2006. I had forgotten about trying this, but came across my notes of the festival. According to them, this was a standard session bitter, amber coloured with a slight, off-white head. Easy drinking with some caramel sweetness, grassy hops and a decent bitter finish. Ok.

Cask (gravity dispense), Reading Beer festival, April 2006. Copper colour. Dry, fairly hoppy stuff. Quite strong bitterness., slightly astringent. As might be expected for a low ABV bitter, the body is quite thin. But its clean, crisp and refreshing, which is no doubt the (limited) intention.

[Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy amber beer with a slight orange teint under a thin light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel as well as light notes of fruit. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of caramel, but also a light touch of fruit, before a very fresh hoppy note attacks, like freshly picked hops, somewhat American in the hoppyness. The end is dry and slightly bitter, but the body is a bit thin.

Gravity cask @ Reading Beer Festival 2006. Musty malts. Dry drinkable body with a little hoppiness to round it off.
