Cask gravity at GBBF 2015 day 2. Thanks Chris. Aroma is subdued grassy Hoo, light caramel, green hop, flavour is composed of nutty malts, green grassy English Hop, light golden coloured pour. Palate is quite light, lowish cask condition. Uninspiring. Boring beer.

Cask at the Prince Arthur (JDW), Fleet. A mahogany pour with a ring of white head; earthy malt aroma; taste of deeply roasted - almost burnt - malts, and raw sugar cane; with a dry finish. Rather good.

Gravity cask at the Wellington Arms, Bedford. Impenetrable brownish black. Aroma of plums with a floral (jasmine?) note. Taste is sweet/sour, with the acrid dryness one might associate with an Irish stout. Confusing but tasty. Palette feels quite flat and leads to a disappointingly unbalanced finish. Not as good as their Plum Mild (q.v.) but still enjoyable.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Amber with a thin cream head; malty aroma; soft orange malt taste; and a crisp citrusy finish. A pleasant session ale.

Crosse Keys. Spoons. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and a little soft. Modest fine carbonation. Smooth malts bring a light caramelly sweetness. On top are bitter hops. Bitter floralness dominates but there a little citrus. Esters before a semi dry and harshly bitter finish. A bit aggressive but okay.
