hughie (3016), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Jul 9, 2009 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Amber with a small off white head. Sweet fruitiness in the aroma, perhaps raspberry or lemon barley water. Rounded malty taste with some pear drops and a mid bitter finish. Well, I quite liked it. austone (998), Turku; Pori, Finland Jul 9, 2009 Cask at Beer Hunter’s, Pori Clear amber, creamy but coarse head, leaving lovely tight lace. Artificial gummy bear fruity nose, mild acidic note, not much else. Flavor has the same fruits, little biscuit maltiness and canned cherries, slightly sweet. Moderate clean bitterness in the finish. A bit thin, but not watery palate. Basic hospital clean and bulky cask-ale. oh6gdx (8796), Vasa, Finland May 31, 2009 Cask@Beer Hunters, Pori. Coppery brown colouw with small white head. Aroma is malts, some wood, mild chocolaty and nutty notes as well. Flavour is malty, nutty, slightly flowery hoppy, yeasty and a bit roasted notes as well.

Rich orange, dough head. Rich chocolatey aroma. Big nutty hoppy taste. Slightly watery, but only to an extent that the beer’s refreshing rather than sticky. Body also has richly roasted malt, some tinges of burntness too. Tasty nutty finish. Very solid English bitter - excellent for 3.6% Magicdave6 (5383), London, Greater London, England Nov 23, 2007 Cask Blackfriars. Aroma is slightly roasted malts, hints of burnt bitterness. Taste is upfront alround bittering hop, and not much else. I mean yea i love hops, but i want more than just raw bitterness.
