Oakham Haka

Cask Handpump at the Smithfield, Derby 05/10/2007 Small white head. Hoppy and citrus aromas. Clear golden coloured hoppy and slightly citrus flavoured with some dryness in a crisp and bitter lime finish.

Handpulled cask at the Peierborough beer festival 2008. Gold with a white head. Every bit an Oakham beer with massive hop aroma and tropical/ciutrus fruit flavours in abundance. However, it did not live up to the hype that II’d read on Sccoopergen, though beer festivals can play all sorts of tricks on your palete.This just didn’ taste that well intergrated to me. I would be very keen to try it again.

Cask (handpump) @ Wellington, Birmingham, England B2.
Clear medium yellow orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, moderate to light heavy hoppy, citrus - lime, grapefruit. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration. Refreshing. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (300708)

Oakham do good beer, this included. Hoppy, refreshing, sharp, light (but in a good way) great mouth feel. Fucking belter.

Cask@Newark Beer Festival, 2008. Golden beer with a lightly hopped aroma and a bitter and floral flavour. Overall a reasonable golden ale.

Cask at blackfriars Glasgow ... Crisp golden yellow ... sharp tart american hop nose ... full on sweet piney american hop ... packed full of flavour and wonderfully balanced. A great UK cask ale.

Cask in Blackfriars. Aroma is fruity, citrus and tropical fruit, hints of peppery alc notes, but nicely drinkable. Taste is similar, hoppy balanced fruity character and orange based cirtus finish.

Thanet Easter Beer Fest. The Winter Gardens, Margate. Mmmmm. Exotic fruit hit going into a dusty finish. Sweet malt. Light and delightful.
