Burton Bridge Dover Dynamo

(Cask at Swann, Liverpool, 20 July 2009) Copper colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity nose with peaches, citrus and dusty hops. Fruity taste with notes of biscuity malt, apricots, citrus peel and a decent dose of earthy hops in a slightly soapy finish. Medium body, slightly sweet. Nice one.

Cask at Merton Summer Beer and Cider Festival, Merton, Oxon, 18-07-09 Pours warm gold in colour with a big bubbly white head, looks really good in fact. There is a subtle touch of smoke on the nose in the mouth honey and the light smokiness returns, I wasn’t the only one to detect this. Good maltiness and nicely bitter. Nice beer.

Cask handpull at Market Porter, London, Copper/gold with lasting off white head. It’s a pretty solid good best bitter.

Cask in the market porter. Alround rating: Pale green unripe apple, yeasty minerally character, light sulphurous hints, nutty sweetness, dry finish. Not good for me.

Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Copper gold with a small white head. Creamy buttery aroma. Hairy malt taste, quite rough and interesting, with hints of cardboard and acetaldehyde. Some bitterness. I usually like these Burton Bridge specials; this one is quirky and interesting.

Cask conditioned at The Royal Blenheim, Oxford. Gold to amber with white head. Dry and a little astringent bitter with quite a dose of caramel as a filler, the hops are a little thin, but overall a pretty reasonable beer.
