B & T Midsummer Ale

Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Pale gold with a small white head. Very sweet floor polish aroma. Then some citric hop. Very sour citric taste, really not very nice. A little biscuit but not enough. No bitterness to speak of. My daughter thought it was ’drinkable’. Enough said. A rare shocker from B & T.

Cask@The Edgar Wallace, London. Yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is vegetables, some rubber and mild fruityness. Flavour is fruity and herbal and also has some vegetables along with dough.

Clear golden with tiny white head. Sweet aroma with sulphurious and fruity notes. Flavor likewise with a sourish end.

Blackfriers. Aroma is floural hop, hints of grass and pale malt. Taste is similar a touch of grainy malts, grassy and a small hint of bitterness in the finish, but generally balanced.
