En av mina favoriter av engelska ales. Doft: knäck och blommor Smak: Blommig och fruktig, besk marmelad, karamell, mineraler, ganska stram och besk för stilen. Jag minns den som lite smakrikare och fruktigare, men fortfarande riktigt god.

0.5l bottle. This one pours a clear dark amber body with a small slowly fading off-white head. Aroma is quite subtle. Hints of caramel, some bitter hops and perhaps even a little fruity. Average carbonation, medium to light-bodied and it has a mild oily mouthfeel. Flavors are quite bitter with some burned caramel, toffee and it has a long lasting grassy-bitter aftertaste. Mnaah, drinkable but easily forgettable.

Cask @ The Burnbrae, Bearsden.
Light amber brown, thin frothy head, diminishing.
Aroma of caramel malt, light bitter hops.
Taste of caramel malt, grassy grainy bitter hops, some roast with typical Greene King yeast flavour.
Palate of light hop bitterness and malt, soft carb, texture thin to medium, finish was bitter, sour with hints of cardboard and metal.
Simple bog standard bitter with a rough finish.

Well the clear glass worries me a bit. Pours a fairly clear deep amber color with a stingy white head that dissipates quickly to a ring. The initial aroma coming out of the first pour were skunky, luckily as the glass sat it subsided. Smells of butterscotch, caramel and toffee very sweet smelling with a little earthy mineral bitterness. Taste follows the smell fairly well, but the skunk came back. Sweet and malty with an earthy mineral edge. Moderate carbonation, medium body with a sweet bubbly mineral water mouthfeel. The mercaptan killed this one for me. Not a bad brew, but probably not something I would seek out again.

Cask at BP Dupont. Orange-brown. Filtered/fined. Soapy, frothy head. Fishy English aroma. Caramel toffee tones, no C02, all cask feel. Tastes refreshingly English but rather boring and lacking in the hop department. Watery, awkward caramel/toffee tones. Unexceptional.

Cask at Churchkey. Sparkler used. Reminds me of the days I lived almost in the shadow of the brewery, in Barton Mills, not far from Bury. Clear golden color, thick white head (that’s the sparkler at work). Aroma of lemon peel and citrus. Sweet start, followed by a soft bitterness with a bit of lemon peel. Very pleasant stuff, a perfect session beer.
