Cask, gravity dispense at Merton Summer Beer Festival July 18th and 19th 2008 Golden pour with white head. Easy going beer that didn’t really stand out in any way shape or form, some bitterness at end and also some light fruitiness but I think I agree with Glen, it was ok but no great shakes.

Cask handpull at Wenlock for the Fin and Loz meet up. Gold, lasting white head. Sherberty hoppy blond beer. This isn’t bad, bit ascetic on the flavour, bit of ginger maybe. Fine.

Cask, Gravity at Haddenham Beer Festival 05-07-08 Pours mid golden great clarity, tiny thin white bubbly head. Really fresh and crisp beer, good citrus bite with some nice honeyed sweetness in reserve, not so bitter, but this was a truly lovely beer.

[i] [b] Cask at the Wenlock Arms, Lahndan tahn, 20-06-08 in the marvellous company of Ian, Mes, Duff, Ang and Loz [/i] [/b] Not the most stunning selection of beers on this evening in this lovely street corner pub but still compared to what a night out in Bicester would offer me it was more than good enough. The beer looked pretty decent light to mid gold with some fruitiness on the nose. There was a fuzzy sort of bitterness in the mouth but this was soon enveloped by the sweetness, bitterness did doggedly cling to the roof of mouth, its tangy, fruity and fine without being that exciting.

Cask gravity at Cambridge BF 08. Copper with thin beige head. Good condition. Aroma of toffee. A little biscuity in mouth, more toffee in swallow and then a dryish herbyish hop finish. Decent best bitter, very drinkable, could see me doing a session on it. Nothing flash, not overly mlaty. Does everything well.

Cask at the Wenlock. Light floral aroma. Amber color with a lacing white head. Floral and fruity over caramel malts. Finishes nicely bitter in a floral way. Good, if not the best.
