Commercial Description:
Cask; Special.
Adnams Flagship has been brewed exclusively to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar and to signal our admiration and respect for the great maritime tradition of England's East Coast. It's a seaworthy 4.3% ABV brew, with fragrant aromas of hops and spices and hints of banana. Look further and you'll pick up traces of pepper, dark fruits and caramelized orange. Available for a limited period from the end of May, across East Anglia and London only. But, don't despair if you live further afield - we plan to launch Flagship nationally later on in the year.

Cask. Dark copper colour. Mild flavour, hint of green apple, very drinkable. A little sweet. Sourish bitterness in aftertaste.

(Cask, The Wharf, Aalborg) - Light amber colour. Light nose, with some malty notes. The taste is pretty one-dimensional, with slightly malty and hoppy taste. -Nothing special....

Cask at The Bridge House, London
Dark amber color. Light malt aroma. Some malt and caramel taste, correct bitterness, but also a touch of vegetables. Not particularly pleasant.

Well, this was a little like vinegar, but good, I mean, a little sour, but drinkable and enjoyable at all. Amber, with head.

Cask conditioned at Charlies. Amber coloured. Ligh aroma with eggy notes. Sweet and slightly malty flavour. Thin and boring.

[Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy orange beer with an OK off-white head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity - and so is the flavor, and here the fruitiness reveals peaches, and leads to a slightly bitter dry finish.

Cask @ Charlie’s Bar, Cph. Nose of bready malts with a light hoppy note. Copper colored body with a small white head. Some malts in the flavor with very light bitterness.
