Colchester Beer Festival. Cask. Opaque dark brown beer, residual tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. The dark malts bring a little roast bitterness that blends with some hoppy floral bitterness. Tangy fruits. Finishes light and bitter. A little tiresome.

Handpull cask at the Med, Cambridge. Clear gold with a loose spotty white head. Lovely grapefruit aroma, bound down to earth by some sweet-smelling biscuity malt. The taste is sweet but I’d hesitate to call it malt-led. There’s a citrus hop bitterness that lasts through to the refreshing finish. It tastes stronger than 3.8% and the body is a trifle pendulous. Nevertheless it’s a very decent and enjoyable drink, a classic English golden.
