Coniston Bluebird Bitter (Cask)

Draft. Poured a bronzey red. Aroma was some hops. Taste was malty and biscuitish. Not too bad.

Cask at Black Bull, Coniston, Cumbria. home of the Coniston Brewery. Gold with a rather large white head thanks to indiscriminate use of sparkler. A bit of sulphur in the aroma. Pleasant biscuity malt taste. Some bitterness. Nothing special, despite its being Champion Beer 1998. As they kept telling me.

Gravity at Cambridge Beer Festival 2009. Copper colour with a short head. Slightly biscuity malt scent. Decent mouthfeel, slightly carbonated. Nicely balanced; Hoppy, malty, I also found peanuts and apples in the mouth.

Cask gravity, ’All Creatures Great and Small’ festival, The Merchant Inn, Drugby. Pale and lace-speckled measure straight out of the cellar. Burton egg nose easing into fresh grassy hop, lovely spike of fresh pilsy bitterness from the Challenger in the mouth; grass, lemon, more sulphur. All wrapped up in a lingering crakerbread and pale biscuity maltiness. A bit TT, a bit Pilsner Urquell. Balance, condition and Big big flavour at 3.6%.

from the keg at the gingerman nyc. cracker flavored initial flavor of sweetness and mild fruit with a bitter and somewhat biscuit palate that enters onto the buds with a mild bitter and tongue desensitizing hop prescence that is layered to make the experience soothing. a tricky little number i have been waiting on. demonstrative.

Bottle Conditioned. Nose is alcohol and a pleasant sourness. Flavor is a slightly sour and bitter flavor followed by a nice spike in bitterness.

Tap @ Horse Brass Pub. What a fine pint of English beer. I hope the CO2 measures were right, because this made me think of my time in London. Could drink this all day - was mild without being offensive.
