Cask, Lincolnshire Poacher, Nottingham. Pallid yellowy gold colour. Some nice citrus character in the aroma and flavour which had some restrained grassy hop lurking. Certainly above average and pretty tasty for its strength. Certainly popular with the locals.

Bottle that I picked up somewhere? Actually I think it may have been Bellingers Jet Garage, Grove, nr Wantage, Oxon. Pours light yellow with a white head. The aroma is a tiny bit stale and dare I say it maybe even a touch of vinegar which was worrying though on first taste It was apparent that the beer wasn’t infected. Taste was initially boiled sweets, some soft and safe malty flavours and an easy going bitterness. The crispness and hops present in the cask version are not showing at all here. Glad that the previous rater has had a good un’ and wonder whether my bottle may have been a little old? A4 A4 F5 P3 OV10 2.5

Cask Conditioned at The Castle, Furnival St., London
Mahogany color, small head. There is some chocolate/vanilla aroma, even stronger flavor; strong caramel flavor too; correct bitterness. Not bad, but a bit artificial.

Cask gravity at Oxford Beer Festival 16-10-08 Pours golden in colour with good clarity. Taste is instantly quite sweet, malty actually quite honeylike flavours coming through? This is really flavoursome as you might expect from Castle Rock not in the usual crisp, light, hoppy, floral camp that a lot of their other golden beers fall into this is more of a big hitting beer with a good depth of flavour even if it is just a tad too sweet at times. There is also a tricky to detect spiciness, my first thought was nutmeg but not so sure. Its most enjoyable.
