Cask at the Reading beer festival. My hundredth mild! In the company of Ian, who judging by the state of hin at the time probably doesnโt remember it. Anyhoo, Iโve seen this fairly local beer at the festival for the last few years and thought it was roumd about time I tried it. And itโs good. The obvious honey sweetness is well balanced by the bitterness from the roasted malts. Good effort, I liked this. Nice easy drinker.

Cask at the 19th Reading Beer & Cider Festival. A perfectly acceptable, tasty, but unexciting Citra beer. Straw coloured; citrus aroma; crisp citrusy taste; and fresh palate.

Cask at the Reading Beer Festival 2012. Pours clear, golden-red-brown with a white foam head. Some dry, sweet toast in the nose, along with leaves and berries. Light sweet flavor with faint toasty caramel, some musty leaves, berries, dark sugars. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with vague honey impressions, light toast, berries, wet leaves. Slight syrupy sugars. Not bad, not great.

Bottle that I picked up at Vincent Montgomery Traditional Butchers, Wantage, a butchers shop with deli selling 40 or more different bottles of beer. Picked up Saturday 22nd Oct 2011 consumed at home. Hazy amber in appearance with a light filminess across the top. The aroma has a very slight tinge of sourness which tends to be more prominent in the mouth, some bitterness shows, not much sweetness, I have to conclude that this may have a slight infection, so not great.
