Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Pretty pleasant old-Englandshire IPA in good condition.

On tap at the wonderful Blue Anchor. As ’Jubilee IPA;. Almost clear gold - amber beer. Good white head which is odd because there is no carbonation in the smooth palate. Light malt, clean and little creamy, Light orange marmalade hops with some floral things. Light finish with a mellow bitter linger. Good flavours but flat condition.

aka Pale Ale. Slightly hazy blond. Earthy and almost herbal aroma. Earthy, a little funky palate with hints of pedio. If you’ve seen the brewery you woudn’t be surprised by the funk. Interesting beer.

Cask conditioned at the 32nd Cambridge Beer Festival, gravity dispense. Allegedly "brewed in some of the oldest brewery equipment in the UK, possibly some of the oldest in Europe". This should suggest that this beer is now again brewed in the refurbished Blue Anchor brewery, not at Keltek. The festival programme also lists it as brewed in the Blue Anchor. Golden colour. Hops and malt vinegar in the aroma, hints of cowshed. Decent hoppy flavour, but honestly: not that much out of the ordinary.
