Spoons Fest. Clear amber beer. Soft dry palate. Almost zero carbonation. Light malt with a mild bubblegum undertone. Not much else going on here. Inoffensive but bland. Semi dry finish.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Amber with a thin white head; weak, fruity, malt aroma; sweet with some orchard fruit and a thin, oily, body; then a lingering, fresh, hoppy bitterness to finish. Not very inspiring.

Cask, handpump at The Elm Tree, Cambridge Sun 15th April 2012 with Loz Pale gold fruity beer with raspberry aroma though it is more sweet shop artificial raspberry than proper rasberry fruit. In fact whilst this is not undrinkable by any stretch of the imagination it is all too artificial for me. I am struggling to get any hops or bitterness, instead the sweet synthetic raspberry sort of takes over. Ok but only just. A6 A4 T5 P2 Ov11 2.8

Hand pulled pint at the Crown Inn, Oakengates Dec 2011. Golden, light amber body with an off-white head on top, doesn’t give much lacing but tried to stay the course. Aroma of citrusy hops and an undercurrent of mild malts. The Beer is brewed using Pearl Pale Malt, Crystal Malt, Wheat Malt, Challenger Hops and Golding Hops. The taste is hop bitter foremost, but not overly hopped, those malts counteract the hops nicely. A good, easy to drink beer, I like this breweries beers but rarely see them in my neck of the woods.

Hamilton Hall Spoons. Light haze on this pale gold beer. Short lived tidy white head. Light palate, semi dry. Semi crisp. A somewhat odd beer. Tart citrus, more lemon than orange and then unexpected smoky notes! Finishes dry and crisp with minerals, citrus orange and apple!! (Good apple). Messy but alright!

Cask@Pigs Ear Beer Festival 2011. Ambery golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, wooden,caramelly with some mild floral and mild toasted notes. Flavour is the same, but leaves a rather longlasting fruity and floral hoppyness.
