Cask at the King William IV, Nottingham. I thought this was a well-balanced, nicely dry complex bitter deserving of the accolades.

Cask gravity at Nottingham BF 2007. Gold colour with sweaty sox hop. Very good bitter. A bit of tea maybe. Nice, drinkable.

A Mes rate: Cask at The Devonshire Cat in Sheffield. Very very hoppy and not something I enjoyed to much. The finish is downright sharp infact. Very slight maltyness in the flavour but it is just too hoppy for me.
