Cask @ Royal Oak, Twerton. Dull amber. A little caramel aroma, with hints at being sticky. Sticky body, though, with a little nettle-like spiciness. Interesting might be the best word to describe it. A little bit of alcohol late - good if sweet and sticky is your thing.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Clear, golden-brown pour with a soft head. Lots of dried fruit and hearty toast on the nose. Lightly sweet flavor, more dried fruit, some leather, grass and leaves give bitterness. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Finishes fruity with mild sweetness and some lingering hops. Kind of alright. (3.5)
Cask at the Beacon Hotel during the RateBeer Black Country Bus Bash. Pours clear yellow with a creamy white head. Mild buttery dough in the nose. Light sweet flavor with odd grass and hay, some minerals. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly dry to finish with faint dough, hay and grass. OK but seems slightly out of sorts. (3.0)

Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. Hazy amber beer. Ghostly white head. Light dry palate. Another very sweet beer from this brewer. Very sweet marmalade with candy sweet red fruits underneath. Trace of bubblegum in there somewhere. Semi dry finish. Now I like a sweet beer - I really do - but this was almost too sweet for me!

Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. Clear brown beer. residual tan head. Light dry palate. Sweeeeeet malt! Well integrated sweet candyish red fruits. Trace of toffee. Light dry finish. Bubblegum and jammy fruits aftertaste. This is a bloody sweet beer - and I have a sweet beer tooth but I could imagine this would bee too much for most!

(Cask at GBBF, London Earl’s Court, 5 Aug 2010) Dark brown colour with ruby hints, brief beige head. Malty, fruity nose with dried fruit, cherries and caramel. Malty, fruity taste with notes of caramel, dried fruit, raisins, hints of chocolate and a slightly bittersweet finish. Medium to full body, sweet (almost at touch too sweet), with a fairly mild bitterness. Tasty and nice.

Cask gravity at St Albans BF 09. Gold, slight haze, thin white head. Pretty good premium golden ale. Good fullness on the pale malts. Decent biscuit flavour. Some citrus fruityness on finish. Little hop bitterness but good citrusy furit. Fine.
