Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. Pale amber with a loose cream head; aroma of tropical fruit; soft with peachy fruit to start, then dry and biscuity with a gentle, lingering bitterness. Very moreish - no sign of any grapefruit though!

Gravity dispense at Ascot Racecourse Beer Festival 2012 - 06/10/12. Clear chestnut brown with a thin off white head that soon bids a farewell! Caramel malt, toffee, subtle hints of mango and a little tropical fruit on the nose. Tastes of toffee, dark caramelised sugar, a little malt and some woodiness. Medium bodied leading to a bitter dry finish.

Cask, brewery tour Loose Cannon, Abingdon, Oxon 12.06.12 Brewed as a Jubilee special this may well be my favourite of the evening. It is very much in the mould of a traditional bitter and I suppose that is only fitting as tradition is sort of what this beer is about. Pours chestnut with a little bubbling across the surface, quite a reasonably bitter bite from the off, with a good dry twang and nice fruitiness carrying things through. Its not a complicated or particularly hoppy bitter and it may be too traditional for some, but the bittersweetness working well for me and I like this. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5

Bottle whilst on the brewery tour at Loose Cannon, Abingdon, Oxon 12.06.12 Pours a nice clear gold with a little bubbling of white head going on. Nice light prickly bitterness actually its is more carbonation prickliness on second thoughts as there isnโt too much bitterness. This moves onto a sweet maltiness which tends to dominate, it really needs a greater tang and fruity bite, lacking a little hoppy blast, its ok but far from the best of these beers tonight.
