GBBF. Cask. Clear amber beer. No real head. A little caramel toffee malt that is also slightly tangy. Ok.

Cask at GBBF 2011, Day 3. Red-gold pour with a small, white head. A very basic bitter with a sweet, malty character. Some light notes of caramel, leaves and nuts. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Mild sweet finish. Pretty easygoing stuff.

Draught at Haymarket. Pours a shiney copper colour with a decent head and very gentle bubbles. The nose has not much, there’s a hint of malt and hazelnut if you perservere. The taste is hazelnuts from start to finish as well as some bitter herbiness (perhaps parsley) kicking in towards the end. The palate is medium bodied and textured but there is a malt overhang on the end, rather than a clean hoppy finish. Overall, as Blackadder says about Baldrick’s poem ’’it didn’t start so well, it had a bit of a dodgey patch in the middle and it tailed off at the end’’.

Cask at The Old Thameside Inn in Southwark. Pours dark amber with a creamy near-white head. A rather heavy fruit aroma. Near med body. It’s fruity - medium ripe light stone fruits. It’s barely bitter, but bitter enough to overcome the malt and fruit in the end. Very nice.
