Cask, handpull at Far From the Madding Crowd, Oxford 08.01.11 I was informed before I purchased, that this beer was very bitter and quite unusual in taste, I tasted it and agreed, it had a very bitter, but floral and perfumey flavour, very pronounced and weird/unusual. Really couldn’t make my mind up whether I liked it or not. Colour was amber with a filmy white head. Just strange. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov12 3.0

Cask at the Claude du Vall (JDW), Camberley. Hazy amber with a tight off-white head that laced the glass nicely; earthy citrus aroma; sharp grapefruit flavour to start then developing into some digestive biscuits; the finish is clean and lightly bitter. An interesting pint.

Cask at The Central Bar. Pours pale, cloudy yellow with no head. Faint malt, yeast and vegetable aroma. Flavor is interesting. Quitr spicy, like autumn spices, with some bready sweetness and dry bitterness. Light bodied with soft carbonation. The finish is fruity and very doughy. Interesting and not altogether bad.
