Cask handpull at Pembury Tavern. Orangey gold with lasting off white head. Orangey/tangeriney throughout. Very tangerine/satsuma, strong in alcohol compared with most bitters, good condition, good in mouth, drinkable and likeable. Modest hop on end. A bit like sucking on a square of Robertson’s tangerine jelly.

Cask at Merton Summer Beer Festival 06-07-07 This was another one that I tried prior to the festival but also got to taste once or twice thereafter. Poured black without much of a head. This tasted a bit like putting one’s finger into a jar of cocoa (but very dark bitter cocoa) there was some creaminess there but it was very much held back, it finished off in a nice roasty dry fashion. Maybe it was me but unusually I just didn’t get on with many of the dark beers this weekend and felt that I’ve short changed them a bit with my ratings, I will try again and hopefully will rate this in a better light.

Cask at the Babbington Arms (JDW), Derby. Pale gold with a creamy, off-white head; citrus aroma; smooth and creamy in the mouth, sweet to start, but developing a sharp grapefruit bitterness; giving a lengthy finish.

Cask gravity at Pembury Tavern. Brewed specially for the Cambridge BF 07 according to the manager. Gold colour with slight haze, thin off white head. Very tangerine/orange citrus. Not a huge fan, but you can see where it’s going.

Cask gravity at Rare Breeds BF 2007. Gold with lasting cream coloured head. Lemon/grapefruit citrus aroma. Some dusty dryness on finish, bit of ginger/spice hop too. Like many Milton beers, very well made. Slightly more citrusy than others that I have had. Good enough.
