Cask at Chelmsfaasarhd Beer Fest. Near clear amber beer, small but tidy cream colour head. Smooth and semi dry palate, modest fine carbonation. Caramel malts. A pronounced and very ripe orange. A mild floral peel aspect before a light and semi dry finish. Solid if unremarkable bitter.

Cask at Chelmsfaasarhd Beer Fest. A very light haze on this paleish gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy and semi dry palate, modest fine carbonation. Light malts, little caramel and cream. Thin dry pine. Modest ripe citrus fruits. Light and semi dry finish. The Mighty Oak beers at this fest taste a country mile from those available at the Maldon tap house. Either they don't travel, or Camra screw em up. Don't know!

Cask at Chelmsfaasarhd Beer Fest. Clear amber beer, small but tidy bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy and semi dry palate, very slightly thin. Mild caramel malts, not sweet. Light and semi dry pine into a floral bitterish ripe fruit array. Light and semi dry finish leaves a bitter linger. Fine. Does what it needs to.
