<i>Cask&#64;Beer Hunters</i><br /> Rated Nov 2007 - rating was missing &#40;or deleted&#41; from Ratebeer. Copper-amber color, nice creamy head. Flowery hoppy nose with hints of honey. Nutty hoppy flavor, nicely bitter with long hoppy aftertaste. Decent malt profile for this ABV &#40;4%&#41;. Good session beer. &#40;7/4/7/3/13 3.4&#41;<br /> <i>Cask&#64;Beer Hunters</i><br /> Rated Aug 2008. Clear dark red-amber color, decent white head. Nutty hoppy aroma.

Cask &#64; Beer Hunter’s. Hazy copper, firm off-white head. Slightly yeasty aroma, modest fruity hops. Nicely dry biscuity flavor, very smooth maltiness. Fruitcake hoppy finish. Very round, smooth palate. Good body for a modest ABV.

Cask &#40;Kitty’s, Helsinki&#41;<br /> Rich orange, small tight head. Huge grainy flowery aroma. Full bodied - excellent combination of sweet mid-roast malts and bitter hops. Soft carbonation. Decent sweet hoppy bitter finish. Pukka bitter, good show Hop Back, and Kitty’s too.

Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Copper gold with a small off white head. Faint malt aroma. Taste begins with a fruity citric sourness and ends with gentle bitterness. It’s easy drinking, approachable, but not very exciting.

Cask &#64;Glue pot. Dark brown orange colour with thin offwhite head. Dried fruit and malibu type tropical fruit with earthyness in the aroma and follows through in the flavour with a plain finish.
