Cask, Bear & Bells Beccles. A pale travesty of a once renowned ale. Thin, semi blonde and without any defining characteristics. You wouldn’t pay for it in washers, if you knew what you were going to get in the glass.

2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Malty sweet bitter. It reminded me of New Belgium’s Fat Tire, only it tasted better. Off the cask it retained the rounded flavor, but with less bubbles it was, in fact, more enjoyable. Not bad.

Cask @ JDW Inverness [270313]
Amber, clear, thin white head, some lacing
Aroma of light ffruits, soft sweet caramel
Taste of soft fruits, soft caramel malts, light bitter hops, hint of honey, touch of toasted malts, bit of bread
Palate - Medium body, fairly oily, some sweet malts in there with a light hop bitterness. Finish as main flavour, slight hint of biscuit, bit oily
Overall - Average brown bitter, not too bad, better than expected, but I wouldn’t call it special
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Jan 2013 - draught. Mild, malty British beer. Not very ’special’ by all accounts.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Golden ale with a medium to heavy bitterness, but a very pleasant one. Easily a session ale. Has a small head.
