Cask at The White Horse Old Ale Festival, London. Pours clear ruby with a small, tan foam head - it looks great. Big bready malt nose with light toast. Light to medium sweet flavor with dried fruits, bread, toffee and a touch of tang. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately dry to finish with dried berries and bready malts. Alright.

[Cask fom the brewer’s own stand at the Thame Food Festival] My first green hop beer, apparently grown from self-seeded wild hops at the brewery. Light amber with a slight white head. Leafy nettle, a little lemon and some blackberry leaf give a rather grubby overall flavour. Chiltern have as usual got a decent mouthfeel, but flavourwise this is not one of their better beers I’m afraid.

Bottle purchased from the Kings Head, Aylesbury, Bucks, Saturday 22nd September 2012 consumed at home Sunday 23rd September 2012 Pours light gold, good clarity slim white head atop. Fairly average golden ale, though as with many from Chiltern it us beyond criticism other than for the fact that it fails to excite and is far too safe. Middling bitterness, not to much sweetness, dry, little bit fruity, but lacks a defining character to make it stand out from the myriad of other cattle in the safe MOR golden ale shed.

Cask handpump at The Kings Head, Aylesbury, Bucks, Saturday 22nd September 2012 Pours amber with a light filmy head, good clarity, golden glints eminating from body of beer in the early autumn sun. Light malty and fresh nose, hoppy but not overly so, middling bitterness, its fine but touch safe, in fact very safe, if you’re going to use locally grown fresh English hops then use plenty.

Cask handpump at The Kings Head, Aylesbury, Bucks, Saturday 22nd September 2012 Pours gold with a small white head, nicely bitter, in fact this is everything that I was hoping the fresh green hop would be i.e hoppy, crisp, refreshing, dry & nicely bitter. Good beer. A6 A5 T7 P3 Ov13 3.4

Clear amber beer. A little light malt on the nose. Strong malt with a little toffee and a whisper of Port Wine in the mid. Trace of black tea before mild hops. Finishes soft and dry. This one needs to breathe to get the best out of it.
