[i] [b] Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival Feb 08’ [/i] [/b] This beer never really settled properly, initially it just had a slight haze but this worsened as we went down the cask, tasted absolutely fine but had to pull the plug on it. It poured a brown colour with some haze, sweetish fruit with a good dollop of caramel which took oot the fruity edge. I didn’t mind this and my next door neighbour Nick loved it, he was rather gutted when I told him that I pulled it owing to it’s condition starting to worsen.
