This one has to make the admiral proud! Good mixture of caramel and light fruit. Good looking beer with good aroma. It has a nice orange/amber color with a pleasant finish and mouthfeel. A good beer to drink often.

Cask (Regal, Cambridge)
Good to find a tasty beer served well in a pub (chain) like this! This is a deep orange and had a very full malty body - I think that the rye malts had something to do with that (didn’t know that when I was drinking it, makes sense now). Hops complement the rich malt very well. Alround solid bitter.

Cask - Fur & Feather, Woodbastwick. A sparkling amber coloured beer with a small and fluffy white head. The aromas are decidedly sweet, as are the flavours. Caramel is the dominant character in both these departments with perhaps the ocassional hint of light fruit on the nose. A certain roasted quality compliments the sweetness of the caramel, which means the beer never becomes too much of one thing. A nicely rounded ale with a pleasant bitter finish, a soft mouthfeel and a full body on the palate.
