Cask @ Belfast Beer Festival [141114]
Black, no head, gravity dispense
Aroma of dark malts, ginger, no roast, gingerbread, simple
Taste of dark malts, sweet ginger, touch savoury, no roast, quite simple
Palate - Medium body, light sweet. Finish as main flavour
Overall - Maybe gravity dispense didn’t do this beer justice

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Amber with a tight cream head; citrus aroma; sweet grainy body with a lemony citrus taste; and a clean biscuity finish. An interesting new hop.

Cask @ Microbar, Manchester. Bright, clear amber-gold with a frothy head. There’s some hops in its nose but has a more malty taste with some raw grain evident here too.

Cask at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. Golden amber with a loose white head that leaves lots of lacing on the glass; sweet grainy aroma; clean fruity bitter taste with lychees, kiwi fruit and sour apples; then a sweet, satisfying, quite syrupy finish with a lingering bitterness. But in the end, it’s quite disappointing, I was expecting a much bigger explosion of hops.
