Caledonian Deuchars IPA (Cask)

Brewed by Caledonian (S&N, Heineken)
Style: Bitter
Edinburgh, Lothians, Scotland

Cask at Warrington Hotel, London. Golden color. Fresh aroma with fruity hops, aromatic maltiness, orange and minerals. Light bodied and smooth. Clean flavor with nice aromatic maltiness and some goldings hop aroma. Aromatic maltiness as well as light fruitiness and bitterness in the finish. Suprisingly tasty for a beer with less than 4 % abv.

(Cask at Island Queen, Islington, London 21 Apr) Pale amber colour with frothy white head. Fruity nose with citrus (mandarin, orange) and some malt. Malty and fruity taste, light body and a long, dry, hoppy finish. A nice, well balanced and refreshing bitter, slightly thin maybe.

Cask at The Angel & Crown (Strand - London).
Orange clearly colo, much limpid one. Light and evanescent head. Fresh and light scent of withered grape, straw and fresch malt. A lot smooth and dry taste, determined and persistent bitter. Light alcoholic rumors only on the end.

Cask: Colchester, some CAMRA bar. Clear orange color, short head. Sweet aroma of apple and hops. Sweet taste, fruity, some apple with a bitter finish.

Cask at The Burleigh Arms, Cambridge. Quite a frothy head, which dispearses quickly. Sweet aroma, and sweet, slightly fruity taste. Fizzy on the tongue.

CASK at Charlies Copenhagen. Golden colour with a small white head. Malty, floral hop aroma and a bitter dry floral hop taste. Medium body with a sweet bitter dry finish.

Cask : The Fat Cat, Norwich. A lovely easy drinking beer with such a suprising balance and depth for such a low ABV beer.

Very very fine cask ale. Good hops on the nose and tongue yet crisp and full of taste. More of a bitter than an IPA, but far more gritty than the greene king.
