Cask at Reading BF. Caramel in hue. Caramel and toffee aroma. Caramel and toffee flavour. Caramel and toffee afrertaste. Nothing wrong with it if you like caramel and toffee; in fact, considering it just tastes of caramel and toffee it’s surprisingly well-balanced and drinkable. In fact, if you’re looking for a beer with caramel and toffee characteristics, you could do a lot worse than this one, because it’s dominated by caramel and toffee. I’m glad I worked out how to use cut and paste on my smart phone, it wasn’t easy. By the way, did I mention this beer tasted of caramel and toffee?

Cask at Reading BF. Black with aa loose light brown head. Very smooth. Chocolate, plenty of smoke and roasty malts but perfectly balanced and incredibly drinkable. On my first sip I predicted this would be my beer of the festival and I was proved right. So impressed that I straight away tried one of their other beers but unfortunately their Old Cadger was not of anywhere near the same standard. C’est la Vie.

Cask at The Shoulder of Mutton, Wantage, Oxon, Tuesday 28th April 2015 Pours mid amber, good clarity, thin white head. Bit too much crystal malt and a tad restrained in the hop department, however it’s a good first beer for me from this brewery. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Gravity dispense at EBF XX, EUSC, 02/04/15. Clear golden amber with a moderate off White covering. Nose is caramel, mellow fruit, light bread dough, orange peel. Taste comprises caramel, biscuit, earthy hop presence, melon. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. So so. Not an APA in my mind, more ESB, lacks hop presence and citric qualities.
