Cask gravity at Ashford Rugby Club BF 2010. Proper brown bitter colour with thin beige head. It’s a slightly earthy toffeeish brown bitter. Same as 100 others. Earthy, touch of mud on the swallow.

bottle from Topsham Wines (08/2010). Hazy pale strawy colour, mid-sized white head. Spicy citrusy nose. Light-bodied, malty, with lots of citrus flavours and aromatic hops. Hints of spices such as coriander and clove. It strongly reminds me of a (good) Dutch or Belgian blonde ale with some witbier character. A beautiful, light summer beer.

bottle from Topsham Wines (08/2010). Deep amber colour. Robust grainy nose reminding me of German Vollkornbrot, bready. Malty with a touch of caramel, chocolate and biscuits, shortbread and fudge. Shy fruity-hoppy touch in the finish, as well as some peaty whisky.

Cask-conditioned at George’s Meeting House (JDW), Exeter 25/07/09. Amber coloured with next to no head. A malty west country session ale with some fruit and a decent bitter finish. Ok, but not particularly memorable.

Cask-conditoned at the Imperial (JDW), Exeter 26/07/09. Amber in colour with a slight, off-white head. Biscuit malt aroma with a touch of fruit. Similarly malty flavour with plenty of bitterness in the finish. Got better as the pint went on.
