Chelmsford Beer Festival. Cask. Light haze on this gold beer, a few pale cream colour bubbles. Palate is light and smooth, modest fine carbonation. Smooth sweetish malts, a touch of honey. Mild marmalade and a little lemon. Some sweet floralness. Light spice. Light dry finish. A dry but pretty drinkable golden. This ain’t an English Strong.

Cask at the Devonshire Arms, Cambridge. Golden, clear with almost no head. Apricot, tropical fruit and seawater in the aroma. Strong alcoholic fruity taste. Unfortunately the aftertaste is astringent bordering on acrid so the whole package is brought down a notch.
