Mar 16, 2007 Cask@Pigs ear BF 06. A nice hoppy one. Lots of grapefruit and lychee flavours coming through. Finish is dry and bitter, and lasts. This beer is all about the hops, lots of juicy, fruity hop flavours. Like it a lot.

Dec 13, 2006 Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear. Amber colour with thin off white head. Nice American hop aroma, grapefruit. Bit of Turkish Delight fruit. I love it, but then again, I would as I love this brewery. Great tangy grapefruit hop finish. Best cask beer of the day for me and it was my first.

Feb 11, 2007 Cask (gravity dispense), Pigs Ear Beer Festival, London, December 2006. Golden colour, tending towards amber. Flowery aroma with a light, biscuity malt accent. Fruity on the palate with lashings of tangy hops. Orange and grapefruit to the fore. Perhaps not quite as intense on the palate as on the nose. Sharp, clean and crisp mouthfeel, but juicy too. Lasting, hoppy finish with lingering resinous bitterness and zingy otange zest. Has all the Oakham trademarks, and exceptionally well executed.

Mar 28, 2005 Cask Conditioned at The Brewery Tap, Peterborough, Cambs. Golden beer with chunky white head. The scene for this latest triumph in beer hunting was the enormous Brewery Tap for Oakham, which despite its size is comfortable and informal. A sudden spring shower beat against the windows and Bob Marley was doing his stuff on the tannoy. ’Do you feel love’ he sang and yes I felt loved by this tasty hoppy beauty. Hop sweet, fresh and dry with spicy grapefruit notes. This is a delicious beer in my book, lasting bitterness with a full body. And Bob wailed on in the background, sensational!!
