Commercial Description:
Cask; Special (Gold Medal Ale series) - October 2008.

On the 6th October 1769 a surgeon’s boy at the mast head of Captain Cook’s H.M.S. Endeavour spotted the coast line of New Zealand to claim it for our Country. Cook once said that his aim was to go “further than any man has been before me and as far as I think it is possible for a man to go” Move over Neil Armstrong & Co. This seafarer charted the entire New Zealand coast in six months by sailing 2400 miles before coming back home.

Cask at The Royal Blenheim, Oxford. Straw gold, fine white head. Light bready malt nose with earthy blackberries. Rather sweet up front, butter and blackberries, a little resiny hop finish.

Cask at The Royal Blenheim, Oxford in the company of Glen 09-11-08. Pours golden in colour with a sweet honey and citrus bite to it. There is some sponge cake flavours to this beer and a nice chewiness, I really like this stuff its very nice.

Cask conditioned at The Royal Blenheim, Oxford. Gold with white head. Quite a light bitter note, peachy fruity, or maybe Kiwi fruit!, Grassy hop lasting on pallate. Pretty reasonable.

On tap at The Market Porter. Pours hazy deep golden with a steady creamy off-white head. Earthy hop aroma and flavours that endquite bitter and somewhat fruity. Body is light to medium, soft. Good craftmanship.
