jjsint Profile - Brewver

Gravity cask at the 2025 Rutland CAMRA Festival, the County Museum, Oakham. Mid- to dark gold and clear with an uneven thin film of off-white head. Lightly woody aroma with slight notes of sweet spice. Taste is disappointingly sweet, a bit toothless with some weak caramel syrup. Light to medium body, a bit flat and oily. Not great.

Krush from Oakham Ales

7.3/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 7 Overall 7

Gravity cask at the 2025 Rutland CAMRA Festival, the County Museum, Oakham. Light golden and clear with a loose uneven film of white head. Grapefruit aroma, some stone fruit, light floral and grassy character. Full bittersweet taste with an intense amount of tropical fruit and lime juice. A tongue-coatibg bitterness for the long and slightly drier finish, not really bitter but more of a 'tang'. A lot of layers to this.

7.8/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 8.5 Texture 6 Overall 8

Gravity cask at the 2025 Rutland CAMRA Festival, the County Museum, Oakham. Golden and a little hazy with a thin white head and good lacing. Grapefruit, apricot, some gorgeous umami notes such as meat and sweat. Sweet taste, Stone fruit and pink grapefruit rind with an intensely bitter finish. Medium body, soft to no carbonation. An incredible APA. Hopefully this'll end up being more than a one-off, it's the best new Oakham Beer I've had in years and years.

Roadhouse Bitter from Tydd Steam Brewery

1 year ago

6.8/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 6 Overall 6.5

Gravity cask at the 2025 Rutland CAMRA Festival, the County Museum, Oakham. A very light brownish gold, clear with a thin uneven film of off-white head. Malty notes, a bit earthy, suggestions of turps, strong iced tea. Taste is lovely and bitter with that light sour woody note you get from some good bitters. Intense bitterness in the finish. Light body, no carbonation. Not so much to it but ots a decent enough drop.
