Oakham Bishops Farewell

Cask. Golden beer with a whitish head. Malt and light fruity aroma. Malt and peach flavor. Medium bodied. Peach, malt, and light woodsiness linger.

From cask at Brew Wharf beer festival. Pours almost clear golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is crisp hops fruity with a light grassy touch. Bitter, citrusy and crisp fruity flavoured. Nice one. Bitter and dry finish with a lasting crisp fruity note.

Bottle. Orange-yellow with a fine, not entirely disappearing soapy white head, leaving a delicate, scattered lacing. Lemon, grapefruity, orange peel on the nose with a sweet floral touch. Piney, grapefruity hop flavours with kiwi fruit orange and a hint of lemon. Crisp and refreshing yet dry with a lingering aftertaste. Medium carbonation, light to medium body. This does the trick nicely, thanks.

Great fruity aroma, good pale yellow and great head, great flavour for such low gravity, grapefruit overtones, an extremely refreshing and flavourful pint.

(Cask at St Urho’s Pub, Helsinki, on 2009-08-06) Pale yellow and almost clear. Long lastind, good looking, white and medium sized head. Hops, fruitiness and grain in aroma. Lightish and dry palate with very low carbonation. Malts, fruitiness, pine resin, bitterness and lightly sweetness in taste. Bitterness and pine resin in aftertaste.

Bottle. Golden and very clear. Hops are predominant although there are also citrus bitterness in the background. Most impressive.

Cask at Coronet W’Spoons in Nth London. Golden pour with a decent head. Aroma of hops and citrus fruit. Lovely refreshing, hoppy, citrus flavours. A well balanced ale that I will always have when I see on cask.

Pale gold pour, decent white head. Taste is unusual for a light pint, somewhat malty, quite a sweet balance and quite fruity, followed by a bitter herbal finish. Decent enough.
