COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Occasional.
A light, blond ale brewed with both barley and wheat malts which give a light biscuity backdrop to the taste of the beer. The subtle bitterness comes from the Brambling Cross hops that add a slightly spicy note to the flavour and, combined with Cascade and Centennial hops, give a citrus aroma with hints of blackcurrant. The mouth-feel is light which leads to a refreshing beer that, in typical Burton fashion, balanced the sweet malty flavour with the subtle bitterness in this distinctive ale.

Wow, so much carbonation here to have mention of cask on the label! Faint wheat aroma and flavor with huge carbonic bite and little in the way of hops. Reminds me of an American macro lager or a Coopers sparkling ale with less character.

Aroma is yeast, fruit and slightly gritty/earthy/grainy. The flavor is fruit/berries, malts, very mild sweetness and a mildly tart finish.

EithCubes (4198) - New Jersey, USA - MAY 17, 2013
Bottle by 15 MAR 14. Nose is mildly fruity with a touch of biscuit/wheat in the nose. Golden pour with a soapy whitish head. Taste with the subtle stroke of lemony citrus, faint bread, a little dash of yeast, a touch sour and bland, a bit airy. Blackcurrant nudges only realize with volume in the yeast scratching the back of the palate and throat -- but they’re quite nice. Medium body relatively smooth, there’s a lot of boredom in the first few sips but I think this would work fine as a session.

frpilz (104) - Illinois, USA - APR 15, 2013
Clear light golden color, no hazing. Full white head. Unique aroma of sweet grass and clover and dry sherry. Light body, yet smooth mediummouthfeel. Almost like a cream ale. Sort of sweet, then a touch of hops dancing throughout. Not complex, refrshing easy drinker. Biscuit flavor with a small touch of citrus and grass.

zacgillbanks (957) - Tyne & Wear, ENGLAND - MAR 29, 2013
Bottle from b&m, Blaydon. A hazy golden coloured beer that explodes out of the bottle with a large foamy head. It has toffee and peppery hop flavours with a sweet warming fruity finish.

mike_77 (1960) - NETHERLANDS - MAR 19, 2013
Bottle conditioned and this one is quite gassy. Fruity sweetness in aroma and taste. Mild hops, not really a bitter one. Overall too thin and gassy.

From bottle. Deep gold in color. White foam. Pretty much no aroma at all. Not good. Dont waste your money.

dmac (3166) - Toms River, New Jersey, USA - FEB 28, 2013
500 ml bottle. Poured a slightly cloudy orange/amber body with a bubbly off white head. Aroma is not that good,notes of raw dough, bad old dark fruit and some banana. Fizzy lively carbonation and a medium to watery body. Flavor is about as good as the aroma but different. Dry bread and crusts along with nut shells and dried out citrus rinds. It’s sucks just like I thought it would.

ianwelby (203) - SCOTLAND - FEB 28, 2013
A sweet, hoppy aroma and a mild, flowery hop taste. It’s quite refreshing but not particularly notable. A nice enough beer but I wouldn’t rush out to buy more bottles of it.
