Commercial Description:
Cask; Special (Gold Medal Ale series) - June 2006.

In 1577, Francis Drake in Golden Hind, with four other ships, set out from Plymouth to sail around the world. By June 1579 Drake’s ship was the only one remaining and it was anchored in a bay just north of San Francisco, further north than any other Europeans had been. This was where California was claimed for England and named Nova Albion. On his return to England in 1580, Drake, as the first Captain to circumnavigate the world, was knighted and his discovery of Nova Albion led directly to our colonisation of America.

Colour: Pale
Nose: Aromatic & hoppy
Taste: Well bittered

Cask @ Chelmsford BF06: A bit thin and flat. Copper colour. Fruity, mild citric hops. A bit boring really. Certainly lacks californian hop flavours.

Cask@Chelmsford Beer Festival. Very thin and boring, with a sticky sweet, dull malt character. Toffee and green apple. watery. Pretty bad unfortunately.

Cask conditioned Chelmsford beer festival, 2006. Orange coloured bitter. Sweet, peppery and a touch of algae. Uninteresting.

Cask conditoned - handpump - Brunswick Derby. A golden coloured beer with some hop in the otherwise thin and dull aroma. The taste is predominantly bitter but there’s that trademark BB fudgy sweetness. Really dull.
