Cask at Bricklayers Arms Yorskhire Festival 09. Bit of diacetyl. The Bramling Cross hops do come through, but the mouthfeel is too carbonated and there is just too much butter for me.

Cask at Bricklayers Arms Yorskhire Festival 09. Amber, thin lasting ivory head. Supposed to be full of cascades. Yes it has some. Quite earthy, some toffee malt. OK, not very hoppy though, perhaps they got lost on the way down from Yorkshire?

[i] [b] Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Festival 09-05-08 [/i] [/b] Pours dark brown with some nice ruby gints and an off white head. Good bitterness, nice roasty and chocolatey notes, this isn’t quite as memorable as it was the previous night when Glen passed me a little but its very decent stuff nonetheless.

Cask gravity at St Albans BF 2007. Hazy gold, thin beige head. Cascadey golden beer, a little chalky in mouth, floral cascadey aroma. Nice up front, disappointing in mouth, but it has got nice leafy nettley hop.
