Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
St Edmunds is a new golden beer and the first of its kind in the UK. A revolutionary take on a traditional dispense, the unique beer engine allows drinkers to choose how their cask pint of St Edmunds is served. Reflecting regional tastes, drinkers can opt for a ‘northern head’ – tight and creamy or a ‘southern head’ – a crowning glory of loose bubbles.
Recently voted Beer of the Month by renowned beer writer Roger Protz, St Edmunds is crisp and fresh with zesty, citrus notes. Offering drinkers a choice of styles, St Edmunds still provides the great flavour of a quality cask beer. Specially brewed to be served between 6-8 degrees - cooler than traditional cask beers – it delivers the refreshment of colder drinks while retaining all the depth of character, taste and aroma of real ale.

A Mes rate: cask handpump at GBBF.
Gold with a thin white head. Ginger and malt with some faint floral hops. Tropical fruit finish. Tolerable for a GK but that’s as good as it’s getting.

Bottle @ Beer Exposed, September 2008.
Pours a nice golden with a small, bubbly, off-white head. Aroma is softly fruity with some oranges and malts. Low carbonation, a bit thin and watery. Flavour is soft, malty and with far too little hops. Pretty boring.

Cask Conditioned Handpump Sun Inn Kislingbury. A golden beer with a whitish head and lacing. The aroma has some citrus hoppy notes but a little Suffolk dishwater. The taste is lightly hoppy and a tad floral. Quite refreshing actually.
