Cask gravity at Reading BF 08. It’s funny, when you get to a beer festival you look at the beers that you wanted, but have sold out or didn’t live up to your anticipation and you are a bit disappointed. It is only when you look back at your notes and see how many stunning beers you’ve had, that you think, "Hey, that was a pretty good day!" I had a good run of excellent beers around mid afternoon including this one. Decent blond beer. Attractive citrus hop aroma. Decent Dark Star Hophead style beer. Still, a very good blond beer, good grapefruit flavour. Very decent.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Pale amber with a thin white head; tropical fruit aromas with apricot and peach; thin in the mouth with the same fruity flavours cut through with a grapefruit bitterness. Refreshing and drinkable.

Cask gravity at Nottingham BF 2007. Pale gold colour with thin whtie head. Astringent hoppy aroma. It’s a blond, astringent hoppy, typical Roosters beer. Doesn’t taste of 5.2%. Feathery hop. Nothing to do with Leffe mind.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2007. Gold, lasting bubbly beige head. The inital yeast aroma dies down to a slightly citrusy aroma. A reasonable Roosters beer, but lacks it’s usual oomph.

(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London 26 Apr 2007) Pale amber/orange colour with brief white head. Fruity nose with notes of grapefruit and orange, slightly soapy and floral. Fruity, floral taste with mandarin, lemon and honey. Sweetish, but with a nice hoppy bitterness in the finish. Nice session blond.
