Firkin tap at PINT Meibockfestival ’13, thanks Potjebier! Not sure about the style, it’s a darker coloured heller bock with English ale-yeast... Slightly hazy orange/amber colour, thin white head. Aroma of loads of flowers, malts, hint of rye, light fruity, yeast. Flavour is medium-sweet, fruity, floral, caramel, yeast, nice bitter English hops in the finish. Soft carbonation, slick, oily mouthfeel. Nice beer.

Cask @ Brassigaume 2012. Clearer orange with a creamy white head. Mellow UK hops in the smell, some resin, mandarin, tad grapefruit and light caramel. Tastes of mellow pine resin hops, white berries, somewhat herbal, light malt base, some exotic fruits. Lighter, bit flatter cask body. Not bad.

Cask @ Brassigaume 2012. The beer that changed many times over its name down to the point that the guy who was selling this wasn’t sure whether it was called Black or Dark Shadow. Even the name written on top of the handle showed clear attempts of him trying to turn Black into Dark – possibly more than once, going back and forth. Pretty dark brown, going a bit to black or dark or maybe even black shadow with a shade lighter mocha head. Smells of roasted mocha and chocolate. Sweet mocha, almost touch vinous, berries, bitter hops in the back, chocolate, mellow hazer. Cask bodied so flatter, softer carb. a nice one.

Cask @ Brassigaume 2012. Dorée, col blanc. Arôme est agréablement houblonné, note malt léger sur pointe bready, léger fruité. Palais est léger avec cette onctuosité de cask, les houblons donnent ici, encore une fois un profile fruité voire tropical qui ici ne profite pas trop à la bière.

Cask @ Brassigaume 2012. Brune foncée, col épais chocolat-café au lait. Arôme est malté léger sur des notes malt qui demeurent assez en retrait et discrètes. Houblon subtile rajoutant une légère touche d’amertume. Palais est léger, malté avec caramel, let out sur une amertume houblonné sur des notes tropicales très plaisantes. Pointe d’épice pour une bière qui dans son ensemble reste très anglaise, fini sec malté/grillé avec un plus venant des houblons.

Cask @ Brassigaume 2012. Beer listed as Western Hero in festival book but as Go West on teh tap handle, British guy ,anning the booth did not seem to know more about it. Said to be brewed with Galaxy and Cascade. Dorée, col blanc crémeux. Arôme présente ce profile bien houblonné avec ce bouquet onctueux de feuilles bouillies de houblons le tout complété par un côté très agréable des houblons donnant un fini tropical agréable. Palais est bien houblonné, léger avec un citronné tropical vers fruit de la passion très agréable du Galaxy, sec et herbacé sur note de feuilles de thé tout en gardant une approche qui reste très anglaise. Le cask confère à la bière un joli fini soyeux et épais.

Cask, gravity at Harbury Beer Festival, Harbury, Warwickshire, 03.09.11 Not a bad beer, though it is far too sweet with lashings of watery sweet marmalade. A nice enough beer that could have been so much better. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Little cloudy deep yellow to orange beer, creamy white head, pretty stable, it adhesive. Aroma: lots of very ripe lemon, cheese. MF: little carbon, bit syrupy texture, full body. Taste: ripe lemons, pretty sweet malty, grapefruit. Aftertaste: citrus, pineapple, bit cheesy, bitter hops. Wouldn't call this an IPA, but it's pretty interesting for sure!
