Jun 22, 2009 Handpulled cask at JDW Hatch End, Harrow. Clear gold with a good dense white head in magnificent nic. Oakham through and through with dry citrus fruits from the centennial hops tantalysing my tastebuds. I can’t keep away from my local when I know that beer like this is on.

Apr 25, 2009 Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Pale gold, no head, quite still. Whilst the appearance wasn’t great, the flavour is very pleasant, very hoppy, spicy, tangy lemon, grapefruit. Tidily crisp and bitter, really very good as you tend to expect from Oakham.
