Draft@Criterion, Leicester. Golden beer with a strongish airy head. The aroma is grassy and bitter, and the flavour is dry with a grassy bitter lemon bitterness. Overall a reasonable sharply bitter beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Gravity dispense at the Duchess of Cambridge, Stamford Brook - 12/07/12. Hazy orange colour with a thin white head. Minimal nose with some sweeter fruits - apricot/peaches backed up by citrus fruit. Hop forward flavour, citrus, less of the sweet fruits on the nose and a little grassy. Bitter finish. Lower down the order compared to other beers I’ve had from Oakham.

Cask at the The Sun Inn Summer Beer Festival, Kelvedon. Hazy gold beer, good off white suddy head. Light palate, a little dry and a little soft. Lovely juicy hops - tropical mango and orange and grapefruit. Nice hint of red berry fruits. Hop spice and tinned fruit syrup. Light dry finish with fresh hop sting. A belter! Amazing flavour for it’s modest abv.

Cask at the Cambridge Blue, Cambridge on 3rd June 2011. Clear, amber-gold with thin white patchy film head and a little lacing. Rich grapefruit aroma, then rich and intense hoppiness in mouth - thick complex grapefruit and grass blend, and a grassy bitterness in the aftertaste. Full, whole-mouth engaging texture, and lingering grassy finish. Exquisite.

Cask, gravity at The Cambridge Blue, Cambridge, 03.06.11 Pours golden with a bubbly white head, the first from the cask (I waited till this went on) it was just so fresh and crisp and it looked quite marvellous. Wonderful hoppy nose with a little malty sweetness. Crushingly bitter in the mouth with little stalactites forming little bitter droplets onto to the tongue to explode in a exotic fruity bitterbomb there is also a pithy grapefruit vein running through this, is this good? Not arf mate, stunning stuff once again from Oakham. I also had this again in the Live and Let Live, Cambridge, 03.06.11 just twenty or thirty minutes later it was just great. A8 A5 T9 P4 Ov17 4.3
