Cask at The Rutland Arms, Sheffield. Hazy straw colour. Tight, white head. Juicy, hoppy, tasty. Of that there is no doubt. However, a tale regarding a work colleagues love life proved overwhelmingly interesting to take more detailed note. Good beer. Good tittle tattle.

[Cask at Reading Beer Festival] Murky dark brown with a medium beige head. An odd beer. There’s discernible wheat beer characteristics up front - banana, Weetabix and a grainy mouthfeel. Then there’s a little bit of charcoal followed by kiwi, grapefruit and pine hops. Essentially it’s a dunkelweizen mixed with an APA, with the APA winning this rather curious battle in the end. It shouldn’t work, but it tastes really interesting and, y’know what, I kind of like it. However, I wouldn’t have bought it if I’d known at the time that it was celebrating the death of someone’s mum, regardless of how controversial she was. Let’s try & keep the politics out of beer, and just enjoy it for the taste, eh?

Cask at the Reading Beer Festival 2012. Pours clear yellow with a bubbly white head. Fresh citrus and bright straw in the nose. Medium sweet flavor with decent off-setting bitterness, lots of citrus rind and toasty hay. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Good and bitter to finish with lasting, gritty hay, more citrus rind. Nice.

Cask at the Reading Beer Festival 2012. Pours lightly hazy gold with a bubbly, foamy white head. Great aroma of dry citrus, lemon, straw, hay. Lovely flavor, light to medium sweet with juicy lemon, lightly toasted straw, pale malts and biscuits, light pee. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Crisp and clean to finish, lightly sticky and resinous with more straw and mild grass. Exceptional golden ale. The type of stuff you drink by the bucket.
