Cask at the Maidenhead Beer Festival 2015 [as Hedgedog Amber Ale.] A golden amber pour with a loose cream head; creamy, fruity aroma; soft caramel taste with a light herbal bitterness; and a smooth, dry, caramel finish. Very satisfying, and the probably the best Amber Ale I’ve tried so far.

Cask - Caramel and pale malts.  Hazy orange gold with a thin white head.  Sweet, fruity, caramel and a light clean finish.  Normally too sweet for me, but with such a clean finish works.
