Magic_dave6 (3642), London, Greater London, England Aug 13, 2008 Cask in the new crown and the alfred herring. Aroma is very hoppy, citrus, leom, bitterness. Taste is similar, very good, great hop character. albertane (242), Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England Aug 9, 2008 Cask at the King William IV, Nottingham. Helter Skelter has the sort of bubbly head typical of Oakham beers. It has a hoppy, slightly spicy aroma, and tastes very bitter without the usual lightness of Oakham beers. It has plenty of fruity malt flavours, and was very enjoyable indeed. Geth_in_beer (663), Nova Scotia, Canada Aug 6, 2008 On tap in the Kings Head, Monmouth. Citrus fruit aroma, lemon and grapefruit. Golden appearance with a thin white head. Decent amount of hops. Surprised to see this as a premium bitter. Was an excellent pale ale for the summer. Plenty of malty, hoppy flavour in it. Gorgeous. Beth101 (100), West Yorkshire, England Aug 4, 2008 Had this in the Kings Head in Monmouth. Smelt of hops and lemon and the lacing stayed on the glass. Was bitter and refreshing. downender (1510), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England Aug 2, 2008 Cask-conditioned at The Wenlock, 1/8/08. Copper coloured with a big, white head that left lots of lacing. Red fruit and caramel aroma with some grassy hops. Sweet malt flavour with plenty of fruit, citrus hops and a long dry finish. Very good.
