GBBF Day 2. Cask. Clear amber beer, small cream colour head. Smooth and mildly dry palate, modest fine carbonation. Slighty tangy caramel malts. Modest dried fruits. Light dry and mildly floral spicy finish. Clean but dry and utterly unremarkable.

Cask hand pump at the Murderers - Norwich. Pours clear, burnished gold with a foamy, white head. Bready malts on the nose with a bit of toffee, butterscotch and berries. Medium sweet flavor with lightly toasted bread, buttery toffee, very slight leafy bitterness, grain. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes sweet with further toasty bread, toffee, dried berries. Tasty ESB.

Handpull cask from the Townhouse, Ely. Light brown, translucent like very strong iced tea. Only a tiny bit of head. Light malty aroma, a bit nutty with candied apple and forest fruit. Intense and almost artifical sweetness in the taste, almost cloying. Some unbalanced bitter on the finish. Weak body. I don’t care for this all that much.

Bottle from Beautiful Beers, Bury St. Edmunds for the train home after a day at the East Anglian beer festival. Poured a dark amber colour with an average sized white head. Aroma of caramel, malt and fruit. Light sweetness, medium bitterness. Malty bitterness to finish, medium bodied but with a thin weak texture. Carbonation quite flat. Not the best beer to finish on.

Cask at The Ale House, Colchester. Poured a dark amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is red berry fruit and malt. The flavour is medium bitter with a weak sweet malt hop bitter slightly woody palate. Medium bodied with flat carbonation. An interesting, flavour packed ale.
