Cask gravity Canterbury Beer festival. Typical Roosters flavours. Golden with good spicy green hop nose. Rich in flavour. Very nice if a bit sickly

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2004] A yellow beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with some notes of alcohol, while the flavor is sweet with primary notes of oranges. Pretty average.

Cask at White Horse, London Reddish brown beer with distinctive aroma of American hops. Combined with some good fruity malts, it makes this a very tasty beer. Will always have it if its on.

Cask at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford Pale gold beer with great hoppiness and citrus flavours. Typical Roosters American hop nose with a good kick of rich citric lemon/grapefruit fruit. I really like this beer probably even more so than the Yankee

[Cask at White Horse, London] An amber beer with a small white head. The aroma is very lightly hoppy, while the flavor is fruity and grassy. Very easily drinkable.

Cask at County Hotel (JDW) Ashford. Amber coloured beer. Typical Roosters nose of rich malt with promise of berry fruit. Good full mouth feel ending in acids and drying hops, but good rich mouthful of hay, berry fruits leading to acidity. Some yeast and slighlty creamy. A typically good rich Roosters beer. I thought the second pint in particular was stunning

[Cask at GBBF 2004] An orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of oranges - and so is the flavor, while the end is dry.

Cask conditioned at the White Horse, Parsons Green, London. Deep golden colour, moderate head. Minimal carbonation, aroma was hard to detect due to a smoky pub, some aromatic hops around. Flavour is instantly Cascade hops (I think), elderberry-like qualities, not really bitter. An OKish beer, not great, lacks some "bite".

(Cask) Very pale gold, cold haze. virtually no head. (Served in bad glass). Very little nose, slight hoppiness. Taste: sweet grapefruit, citrussy, bitterness. Pale malts. Sweetness in the finish. Medium-bodied. Demi-sec whine-ish quality. Not bad, but it is a bit like the obligatory summer special. Which didn't quite succeed for me.

On cask at the White Horse...light amber; explosive hop aroma; slightly minerally palate; good hop flavour but the relatively moderate bitterness tells me they just don't have a full grasp of what the Yankees are up to these days.
