Cask conditioned, gravity at Battersea Beer Festival 2006. Copper/golden with bubbly white head. Citrusy bitter. Herby/ginger hop. Malt is a little thin but the spicey hop finish is nice. Anyone fancy having a sip from my Belvoir?

Cask gravity at Battersea Beer Festival 2006. Very deep ruby colour with bubbly beige head. Quite a hoppy/herby nose, not what you’d expect from a mild at all. Some mild flavt malt in mouth, then more herb and some powdery charcoal. Fairly low on flavour and a drying finish. Its a mild and it does exactly what it says on the tin.

(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy, dark amber with a handsome, creamy, off-white head. Nutty aroma. Rather dry with some hard roasted malt and some serious bittering hops in the finish. 200106

Cask at GBBF 2005 Golden. Interesting hop nose with honey? Sweetness in mouth but then a good hoppy finish. Not that great.

Copper-amber color with a well-retained white head. Cherries, dry balsa wood, crème liqueur, toffee aroma (noticeable diacetyl). Flavor begins with some diacetyl as well, with more fruity cherries, vanilla and earrthy, lightly bitter hops on the finish. Good medium-full body. Too much diacetyl, as Dan Shelton points out, but I guess I havent overdosed on diacetyl yet, at this point in my drinking career and so I still enjoyed it.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] An orange beer with no head. The aroma is very light, what is there is of hops and caramel. The flavor is sweet with lots of caramel making it sticky in the mouth. Too sweet for me.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] A red-brown beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and licorice. The flavor contains hints of roasted malt and licorice on a sour background - the sourness stems from the lack of residual suger. The end is quite bitter.

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2004] A hazy brown beer with a light brown head. The aroma is powerful dominated by yeast. The flavor is also powerful with strong notes of yeast, but also caramel and roasted malt, leading to a very bitter end.
