Cask Orange beer with a dull ochre shinge; B.C."H.". First UK hops nose, flowery, nettles, but all terribly subdued. Very fine hoppy & herbal flavour but with a total lack of maltbacking. Faint bitterness overall. Extremely light MF, watery texture. OK, this is British Cask ale, and it is suitably subtle. So, I’m not expecting an exploding MF from a USA hop bomb. But it is called IPA, yes. Please, look this up in the brewing dictionary...

Cask@The Hobgoblin, Reading Clear chestnut-red in colour with a trace of white head; an intense rich flavour with traces of stewed fruits and licorice leaving a warm afterglow.

Bottle picked up at Morrison’s, Bridport, Dorset. Amber in colour, sweetish tasting bit caramelley, some malts some hops not too bad at all.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 6 Oct) Golden yellow colour with white head. Malty nose with grassy hops, hay and timothy-grass (even some ensilage). Fruity taste with hay and grassy hops. Nice, bitter finish, some malt sweetness, but mainly dry. Easy to drink, and rather tasty.

Bottle given to me by my dad 17-10-06 said that he picked up a case of this and Eden Project at Majestic, Banbury . I poured this Loz said oohh... it looks just like Irn Bru which wasn’t a bad shout actually though it didn’t quite have the carbonation and wasn’t quite as orange as Irn Bru it had similarities. Aroma was a little hoppy and there was a trace of malts there as well, in the taste detected a touch of vanilla and then the malt again but also quite fruity. Tasted a little bit clinically clean and just a bit safe but quite enjoyable. A5 A3 F7 P3 Ov13 3.1 Had this again at 6% Cask, handpump at The Nags Head, Lyme Regis, Dorset for an incredible £1 a pint! 02-04-10 I was expecting this to be ropey and probably past its best if they were knocking at out at this silly price which for a 6% beer was positively encouraging having a gutsfull. Pours warm gold/light amber good clarity, thin white head. Good strength, touch of light burn on the tongue some honey and bitterness, very pleasant and a worlf of difference from the beer that I had before looking at my notes and not just in the strength, note this had 6% on the pumpclip.
