Cask at the Solihull CAMRA festival 2014. Poured a crystal clear dark amber with a thin whispy white head. The aroma is big malt, toffee caramel, fruit. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a woody resin light spice hop palate. Medium bodied with flat carbonation. Plenty going on and with the ABV it’s ideal for a session.

Cask at the Six Bells, St Albans. Copper, clear with very little head but lots of lacing. Scent of caramel, wood, house paint, malt loaf. Ordinary but not unpleasant. Bittersweet malty hit in the initial taste, followed by a bit of caramel/fruit flavour. Medium short finish. Thinnish body, fairly flat but the mouthfeel works for this beer. Like so many beers before, and, I fear, so many to come: good enough to drink but boring enough to forget instantly. Buntingford are capable of making good beers as well as some mediocre ones. This is one of the mediocre ones.

Cask-conditioned at the Colston Yard, Bristol 21/8/2014. Golden in colour with a slight, white, head. Citrus hop and hay aroma, with a touch of stone fruit. Flavour had crisp malts, more fruits and a lingering, bitter finish. Good.
