Cask, gravity at Merton Summer Beer and Cider Festival, 17-07-09 Pours light amber in colour, some haze. Nicely citric with crisp grapefruit encountered quite early. This has a furiously bitter bite but its tempered with good undercurrent of sweetness in fact the balance is quite excellent. Strength was apparent but never intrusive or to the detriment of this fine beer. Good spicy touches, fabulously bitter and sweet a great British interpretation of a DIPA. Lovely stuff.

Cask at Hatch End W’Spoons. Golden coloured ale with a fresh floral aroma. Quite hoppy for a wheat beer. Any beer brewed by Oakham is decent. This went down very nicely on a very warm late Spring day in suburbia.
