[Cask at Reading beerfest] Thought I’d best try at least one Royal Wedding beer! Gold/amber, moderate white head. Dry, hoppy straw with a little lemon behind. Pleasant start to the festival; another decent one-off from Chiltern.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. It pours a small, off-white to white head over a clear, dark golden body. The aroma is dominated by English hops, with a bready touch in the back. The flavor has a pleasant bready maltyness and sweetness as a backdrop for grassy, slighlty piney hops and some bitterness. Dry, medium to full body. Lasting dryness and hoppyness in the end. A pleasant and tasteful one, one that I could drink a few of. 110417

[375ml bottle; gift from my wife who got it from the brewery shop] Oddly (see Fin’s comment, I had this one just before the Lovibonds 69. Not convinced that being wrapped in a bit of paper justifed the price this was sold at, but as it was a gift I can’t complain! It pours a pale gingery amber colour with a large, lasting off-white head. Aggressive initial carbonation soon declines to leave a pleasantly resinous, decadent mouthfeel (still with a nice mouth-coating tingle) that seems suitably luxurious for a 30th Anniversary ale. The flavour is not quite up to the mouthfeel though - a farmyard taste at first with hints of pine and lemon coming through later, along with a vague herby mintiness. Nevertheless, it’s a decent effort, and I wish Chiltern all the best for the next 30 years!
