Cask via cellar run at the Mermaid, St Albans, UK on 10th October 2009. Pale gold with thin white foam giving fair but patchy lacing. Herby hop aroma. Fruity hoppy kick with berry fruit and grassy hoppiness. Zingy mouthfeel and a dry hoppy finish - pleasant pint.

Cask at the Live and Let Live, Cambridge, 03-10-09 Pours mid/warm gold with a thin white head. There is a thick mouthfeel to this beer, sweet honey, nicely bitter. Another nice Oakham beer; but again just lacking that Oakham spikiness. A6 A3 F7 P4 Ov14 3.4

Cask conditioned at the Rake, Southwark. Gold in colour with a decent white head. Sweetish malts, apricot and citrus hop aroma. Flavour had more of the malts, citrus and tropical fruit and a long dry finish. Very good.

Cask handpull at The Brewery Tap, Peterbrough. Amber copper colour with lasting beige head. Some diacetyl on aroma and some hop. Reasonable malt in mouth. Then good earthy hops on finish. Fullish malts in mouth that is sweetish. Then some very good APA style hops on finish. Take the diacetyl out and it would be an ok APA.

Gravity cask at Son of Sid Brewery, The Chequers, Little Gransden, Cambs’ 1st Beer Festival on 02-10-09 Pours amber with white head, crystal clear,another beer in excellent nick. Light spiciness on the nose, some ginger which was also very apparent in the mouth. Ginger was more powder than root, unusually for Oakham not as hoppy as expected. A5 A5 F6 P3 Ov12 3.3

Cask, gravity at the Pig and Falcon, St Neots. 02-10-09 Pours red with a slight haze, but in fairness we were informed that this was getting close to the bottom of the cask. The aroma is fruity in fact there is very much a waft of tropical fruit. Good fruity sweetness, touches of pineapple, bit of grapefruit and a long though restrainded bitterness. A7 A3 F7 P4 Ov14 3.5

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 16/09/09. Murky brown colour wih a decent off-white head. Big, hoppy aroma with plenty of fruit and some earthiness. Fairly easy drinking despite the strength and multitude of flavours - sweet doughy malts, red fruit, citrus hops and a long, bitter finish. Full of character and great stuff.
