Cask, gravity at Merton Summer Beer Festival 16-07-10 Pours gold with nice bubbly white head. We had a dry hopped version of the standard beer, dry hopped with cascade. The nose was amongst the hoppiest aroma of any Vale beer that I’ve ever tried, with really fresh hops flying off of this, I really noticed this when I was pouring one for somebody that the nose was literally leaping out at me. Flavour wise it was good, not as good as the aroma might have suggested but it was crisper, with a late bitterness, and whilst there was an underlying sweetness throughout the bitterness and a dry finish and those hops certainly made sure that this was quite a popular beer amongst those attending.
