Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. Loads of beers shared with ChrisO and Harrisoni - Cheers! Clear gold beer, residual white head. Light semi dry palate, mildly fruity. Should have taken more notes but this beer proved it’s drinkability because I sunk it whilst jawing!

Cask at the Edgar Wallace. Pours a dark, ruby-brown with a slight, beige foam. Charming aroma, definitely some citrusy, resiny hops in there. Nice flavor, a tad soapy but some nice grapefruit, slight bread, juicy oranges. Weird, delicious, but nothing like the milds I know. More like a black IPA I’d say. Light to medium in body with fine to average carbonation. Some nice, understated bitterness in the finish, very citrusy with faint malts and fainter roast. The only thing holding this beer back are the soap notes. Otherwise, great stuff.

(Cask at Gallows Real Ale Festival 2011) The beer poured amber and clear. Head was small and white. Aroma had malts, hops, toffee and sweetness. Palate was medium bodied and dry. Flavours were toffee, hops, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was bitter. I found the aroma and the flavour of the hops used in this beer too acrid and stinging. Otherwise a flawless brew.

Pigs Ear Festival, Hackney. Fairly standard bitter but lifted up by some tea and nettles flavours! Good enough.

Cask, Bridge Hotel, Newcastle. Unremarkable brown colour with minimal head. Caramel malts and some vague fruitiness, but very little happening. Bitterness lacked balls. Just about tolerable but flat and underwhelming. Next !

Bottle from Waitrose. Clear orange gold colour with thin white head. Slightly empty boiled sweet pasteurised aroma. Its a bit bland in the mouth due to the pasteurisation. Some hop on end but on cask this beer can sing. This unfortunately merely warbles.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm Clear golden. Citric, fairly hoppy nose. Light bodied with crisp rounded mouthfeel. Light buttery malt, fresh grapefruity hops, balanced bitterness. A thirst quenching cask ale combining great drinkability and pleasant flavours.
