Cask, in the CASK Pub & Kitchen on 13th June 2010. Gold with vanishing white head. Strong sweet vanilla aroma burst; touch of spice then a rich grassy hop finish. Zingy mouthfeel. An acquired taste, but I appreciated how well the beer was crafted, and this fact drove the rating higher.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2010. Amber, lasting bubbly off white head. raspberry vanilla hoppy aroma. Not very bitter. Quite hoppy, but deceptive. Doesn’t drink it’s strength. I thought pretty good.

Cask-conditioned at the Royal Oak, Bath 29/04/10. Dark, reddish-amber in colour with a slight, off-white head. Savoury malt aroma. Flavour was similar, with a touch of fruit and long, bitter finish. Ok.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 30/03/10. Golden in colour with a slight white head. Sweet, vanilla ice cream float up front, subsiding a bit to give a touch of bitterness in the finish. Seemed more subdued vanilla wise than reputation would suggest, but still not a beer I would rush to try again. Ok.
