Cask (Helsinki Beer Festival 2009) - Gold/amber in colour. Malty and ever so slightly citric aroma. Malty and slightly fruity taste with hints of grain. Cask (Bell, Bath) Enjoyed it more here. A nicely balanced bitter.

Cask-conditioned at The Star, Bath 18/5/08. This was originally the 10th anniversary beer for Abbey Ales, but continues to be brewed due to popular demand. Clear amber in colour with a moderate, contrasting white head. Aroma of red fruit, barley sugar and grassy hops. flavour was sweet, with plenty of malt and fruit before a decent dry finish. The alcohol was fairly well pronounced for a 5% beer, but drinkable nonetheless.

On gravity at the Bristol Beer Festival 14/3/08. Deep gold in colour with no head. Sweet malt aroma with some barley sugar and earthy hops. The flavour was a bit syrupy with a short bitter finish and prominent alcohol. A bit brash for my liking.
