fonefan (4333), Ulfborg, Denmark Aug 15, 2007 Cask gravity @ The Blue Boar Hotel, Maldon, CM9. Clear dark golden yellow color with a small viritually none off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty and hoppy, flowers, citrus, toffee. Initial flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter, finish flavor is moderate sweet and bitter, with a long duration. Nice bitter finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. Mes_and_Sim (4320), Highgate, Greater London, England Jul 15, 2007 A Sim rate (cask at Chelmsford BF): Smells citric and slightly malty. Tastes unlike mussels. A bit like playdoh, but surprisingly refreshing with it. Aroma is much like Belgo’s thai mussels and that can only ever be a good thing! duff (5404), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Jul 19, 2006 Cask@Chelmsford Beer Festival. Brewed with shellfish, so not a good start. Not sure it did anything for the flavour, except for maybe a slight saltyness. Quite limey and citric, and, well, pretty bland. maeib (3949), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Jul 15, 2006 Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Chelmsford BF. A pale yellow/gold coloured ale with a whitish head. The aroma is hoppy with some citrus notes (but no shellfish). The taste is nice and hoppy. Some dryness, and yes, maybe a little fishiness. Clean and very drinkable. Joeh (1892), Buckinghamshire, England Jul 15, 2006 Updated: Jul 16, 2006Golden/Blonde ale. Cask conditioned Chelmsford beer festival, 2006. Blonde. Fruity malt and slightly lemony. An odd salty/savoury character to it. A strange beer.
