Bottle from Bernieโs Real Ale Off Licence, Solihull. Poured a clear light amber with a broken white head. The aroma is malty and a little hoppy. The flavour is medium to strong bitter with some malt and citrus notes. The bitterness stays around in the aftertaste for a very refreshing ale. It went very well with my curry I have to say :-)

Cask at the Merchants Inn, Rugby, 06/03/13. Clear pale blonde with a good sized white head, good lacing follows. Nose is pale malts, lemon sherbet, citrus, hops. Taste comprises zingy citrus notes, hops, lemon, grass, light sugars. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, light bitterness in the finish. Decent stuff!

Cask @ Staggs Musselburgh 190113
Pale straw, clear, dense white head, good lacing
Aroma - soft citrus hops, light pale malts, not a lot in the nose
Taste - light pale malts, soft fruits, dab of apricot
Palate - light to thin body, fairly oily texture overall, bit creamy. Finish s main flavour, slight dry, soft bitter zest linger
Overall - It was OK but the least impressive of the 3 Oakhams I tried tonight

50 cl bottle @ Kultainen Apina, BBE 05.01.12. Rated on 12.07.2011
Aroma has pleasant, fruity hops and is sweetish. Hoppy flavour is close to a typical golden ale, but the unusual strength of 5% can be observed as a stronger body. Mild carbonation, but not disturbingly mild.

Aroma: Grassy aroma with a faint, unpleasant soapy/glue note.
Appearance: Clear golden body with a small white head. Very light carbonation. Very little lacing.
Taste: Soapy, grassy and grainy. Quite sweet. Not great.
Palate: Thin body with a watery mouthfeel. Soft carbonation.
Overall: Considering the quality of other Oakham beers Iโve tried, this is very disappointing - too sweet, too thin and too grainy.

Cask at the Birmingham Beer Festival 2012. Big floral aroma! I initially thought it was the soap on my hands as I'd just been to the toilet, but no, it was the beer and typically Oakham! Beautiful hoppy bitterness in the flavour that hits the palate right away. Very refreshing indeed. Another Oakham classic!
