[i] [b] Cask at The Cross Keys, Pangbourne, leg 5 of the Thames Tipple (Goring to Wargrave) 14-06-08 [/i] [/b] Almost straw coloured beer with a thin white head of bubbles. Some sweet malts and hops on the nose, but also a little citruss gives you an indication of where this might head. The hops hit you straight away in the mouth quite citrussy, but then they subside, quite bitter at times but also juicy and fruity, ferociously dry at the end, I liked this (Loz loved it) but for me this could have been done just a little more subtley and it would have been a much beet beer.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Pale straw with a thin white head; citrus aroma; simple citrus flavour with an underlying bready dough body; puch bitter finish, and an aftertaste of powdered ginger. Strange.

Cask cellar run at Ship & Mitre BF, Liverpool. Pale gold with no head. Rose petal hop aroma. OK in mouth, decent grapefruit, rose petal hop finish. Some sherbert. Hmm. That’s nice and could get better. Hop is promising.

[i] [b] Cask at The Hop Pole pubs Easter Beer Festival, Aylesbury in the company of Loz, Chris O, Ruth, Barry, Lynn 21-03-08 [/i] [/b] Light golden in colour, sweet and fruity in taste but there is quite a striking bitterness there. The bitterness lingers for quite some time and the nose is also quite aromatic though not sure that I got the pine, but citrus was definately there, quite tasty and whilst at first I wasn’t totally convinced of it’s APA credentials I suppose that it does just about tick enough boxes to move it away from the more normal golden territory that Osset beers are most probably lumped into.

Cask at Bon Accord, Glasgow. A light golden beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with a light malty note. The flavor is sweet and more malty, combined with citrusy notes of hops, leading to a slightly bitter finish. The body is thin.
