Cask at the Wellington Arms, Bedford. Standard golden colour. Not a lot of head. Very slight floral and gooseberry aroma. Taste is harsh. A bit acrid and astringent. Thin, flat body. Rudgate is such an inconsistent brewery. They can produce excellent beers but then they make something like this. Shame really.

(cask@Catford Bridge Tavern) Amber pour with a diminishing medium to thin off-white head and thin watery in body. Aroma/taste is caramel malt, yeasty, nut, pine and some slight hop character. Average overall.

36th CAMRA Cotswold beer festival (July 2012) in the lovely 15th century Tithe Barn: the setting for my tasting of this beer. Gravity poured half-pint: golden orangey body with a thin white head. The smells were a blend of mild toffee and summer fruits, the taste similar with a hoppy bitter dryness towards the end of each sip. An OK beer but no real punch to its flavours, expected more from a beer name ‘Viking’ even if it is only a 3.8% brew.
