Cask gravity at London Drinker BF 07. Gold beer with thin white head. Ginger aroma, bit thin. But still got something about it. I thought it was pretty good. I like ginger beers on the whole and this one was a bit more subtle.

Cask handpull at The Fly in the Loaf, Liverpool. Great brewery Acorn, so I was excited to see this on. Hazy gold, thick beige head. Is this a wheat beer I see before me? According to the Acorn website, no. Lemon citrus aroma, large in mouth, plenty of depth and wide mouthfeel, possibly from the addition of some other cereal. Then great hoppy lemon/grapefruit finish. Really lovely, slightly creamy due to the use of a sparkler on the dispense.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2007. Dark ruby colour with bubbly dark beige head. Lovely leafy grapefruit aroma. Lovely mouthfeel. Very smooth. Very good condition. Decent grainy malt. Very nice hop on end. As the festival wound down on the Saturday afternoon, I had 2 more pints of this as I liked it so much and I couldn’t believe that people hadn’t drunk it all.
