Cask at County Hotel, Ashford, Kent Another beer I go through a love hate relationship with. When it is good, I can’t get enough of it (the subtle maltiness balanced by a good english hop finish) other times, I find it bland and not worth the trouble

Cask at County Hotel (JDW) Ashford. Chris_o’s assessment is pretty accurate. Brown/orange in colour. Not a lot of nose some goldings citrus. Some body, but you can tell it is dry hopped with its tangy green hops on the end with some lemony flavours. I kind of liked it, but it did not do enough to make it special

[Cask at GBBF 2004] An orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is light, what is there is sweet hoppy. The flavor is of diacethyl and oranges. A boring beer.

Amber color, nice head. Aroma of sweet caramel and vanilla, of cake. The body is not very strong, with high caramel character, some brown sugar, light hoppiness and honey, correctly bitter.

[Cask at GBBF 2003] An amber beer with a beutiful head. The aroma is very faint malty with notes of fruit. The flavor is smooth and malty from a good malt blend. It ends on a slightly bitterness. A very creamy beer even though it was cask.

Sampled cask conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, Sweden.
Orange-golden. Sulphury and lightly flowery aroma. Light bodied with superb softly maltiness and slight fruitiness. Very soft mouthfeel and with balanced bitter finish. An excellent traditional bitter.

Amber; light, vaguely caramelly, touch of wood. It seems the most popular English ales are always the blandish, malt-accented ones. To each his own I guess.
