Williams Brothers Seven Giraffes (Cask)

Cask, Rigbys, Liverpool. Clear n’ golden with a minimal off white head. Aroma was quite fruity and fresh with some decent hoppage, themes that continued on into the flavour. A wee bit lifeless and lacking real clout on the whole but not without some appeal.

Cask, Nottingham Fest 08. Hazy gold with a small head. Aromas are lots of spiced oranges with some cream. Peppery with alcohol. Flavours are hoppy with resinous oranges. Bitter hops with a dry finish. Some floral notes. Decent.

Cask, Coventry Beer Festival 2008. Dark amber. Juicy citrus and floral hops on the nose. Tangily hoppy and orange-accented but on this showing, lacking the zest of it’s bottled counterpart. Too much grainy malt and alcohol. Still pretty tasty, mind.
