Oldham Beer Festival 2023 but labelled there as Earl Soham Seadog.. Golden in colour with a mild hoppy-sweetness, although its strength is evident enough within the brew. Smoothish texture.

Bottle: Poured a coppery with white lacing head. Aroma is sweet caramel malt, light cardboard but not outputting. Taste is sweet malty, strong backbone.

Bottle. Poured clear golden orange with an average size, fluffy white head. Aroma of malt, hops, marmalade, caramel and light tropical fruit. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Quite enjoyed this.

Bottle from Alder Carr Farm Shop, near Needham Market. Some initial citrus in the aroma which is then drowned out by the malts. Copper gold. Middling frothy translucent white head. Medium bitter. A sour edge and sweetness into the finish. Marmalade. But tastes more boozey than it is and metallic. Medium bodied. Slick, if thin. Fizzy carbonation with some softness. Long slightly astringent finish. Leaves an aftertaste. Marmalade and metallic result in a cough medicine-esque boozey beer. Currently down as an ESB but mode of an English Strng Ale for me. Not sure that I actually like it that much but would probably go down well on a stormy seaside night.

Handpull cask at the Grain and Hop Store, Cambridge. Golden and clear with a filmy white head and lots of lacing. Sticky malt aroma with marmalade and persimmon. Strong sweet taste with tangerine undertones. There are some earthy English bittering hops underneath, but it remains a sweet beer. Full body. I really like this.

Cask at the Reading beer festival. Amber in hue. This is a bit sweet, isn’t it? Really sweey shop chewitt type sweet. There’s some tropical fruitiness, sure, and a little earth, but really needs more hop balance to make it work. Poor.

Cask@Reading Beer Festival 2012. Goldeny orange colour, small head. Aroma is sweet fruits, mild resin, tropical fruit juice and some grassy and caramelly notes. Flavour is sweet fruityness with a quite big grassy and fruity bitterness kicking in. Balanced out with some sweet maltyness.

3rd February 2011
Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. Loads of beers shared with ChrisO and Harrisoni - Cheers! Clear gold beer, no real head. Light dry palate. Very sweet. Fruit salad sweet flavours going on with zero hop bitterness. Light dry finish. Over sweet and somewhat one dimensional.

Cask gravity at Chelmsford Winter BF 2011. Peach and nail varnish on aroma no real condition. Old gold. Its a peachy strong English style IPA. Cant say I am overly keen. Bit sweet. No condition.
