Cask at Coronet W’Spoons in Nth London. Golden pour with a decent head. Aroma of hops and citrus fruit. Lovely refreshing, hoppy, citrus flavours. A well balanced ale that I will always have when I see on cask.

Cask at the Live and Let Live, Cambridge. Amber with a dense white head; rich, buttery aroma with a hint of apricot and almond; oliy and honeyed in the mouth, with orange fruit and deep sustained bitterness, leading to a rich, chewy, butterscotch finish. Excellent.

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.

[Cask at the Nags Head, Reading] My first beer from this highly-regarded brewer pours gold with a moderate white head. Light citrussy aroma with floral hints and some straw. Very bitter on first taste, but soon reveals big citrus flavours - marmalade initially, huge juicy fruity bursts in the middle and bitter grapfruit in the lasting finish. An excellent beer that transcends a style I’m often not too fond of. I’ll seek out more beers by this brewer now.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 26/04/09. Pale gold in colour, no head. Big hoppy aroma and flavour, with plenty of grapefruit, a touch of balancing sweetness and a razor sharp dry finish. Excellent.

Taste is very clean, crisp and with a nice back of the mouth bitterness. Nice citrus and with some gentle honey sweetness, I really liked the simplicity of this, great stuff. A8 A4 F8 P4 Ov16 4.0
