Gravity cask at the 2017 Cambridge Beer Festival. Golden, bright and clear, with a wisp of white head. Soapy aroma with hay, honey and a touch of astringency. Bittersweet herbal taste with a curious savoury note rounding the corner to the finish. More honeyed soapy medicinal notes in the finish. It’s ok, but I think I like the idea more than the execution thereof.

Handpull cask at the Architect, Cambridge. Light yellow, almost straw, with a thin white head and a decent show of lacing. Low aroma: light grapefruit peel and a fair bit of malt but I really had to snuffle my nose in there to get anything. The taste is bitter, for sure, and uncompromisingly so. Bitter finish, clean lasting bitter with lemon and kumquat in the aftertaste... but bitter as hell? You don’t know you’re born.

Handpull cask at the Mill, Cambridge. Mid-gold, clear, very little head. Astrimgency, banana, citrus and butter aroma. Taste is bittersweet with sea salt and papaya notes. A mess but a not altogether undrinkable one.

Gravity cask at Cambridge Beer Festival 2015. Mid- to dark reddish brown, a bit of loose off-white head. Aroma of biscuit, wood, maple syrup. Taste is sweet at first, then rounds to a bitter fruity finish. Mouthfeel is thin but I suppose that’s to be expected in this style. Pretty nice really.

Cask at Cambridge Brew House. It pours murky amber-brown with a medium white head. The nose is wood, earth, leather spice and faint citrus. The taste is wood, earth, tangy fruits, grapefruit, lemon, red berry, decent bitterness and light spice. Medium body and soft carbonation. I like the tangy fruit aspect, but can’t help but wonder whether its the start of an infection.....
