Cask (handpump) @ GBBF 09, Great British Beer Festival, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London, England.
Clear medium yellow amber color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, toasted, apple notes. Flavor is light to moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is flat to soft. [20090806]

on tap at The Barrels, Hereford. Amber colour with a tiny head. Hoppy nose. Slightly malty and fruity with a grown-up hop profile, slightly citrusy. After the HPA I expected a little more... but still good.

Cask@GBBF 2009. Amber color, small beige head. Light nutty aroma. Light caramel, some woody hops. Decent body for 3.7% beer. Simple and uninspiring. A bit too sweet for being even a session beer.

Cask@GBBF2009. Ambery golden colour, not much head. Aroma is hops, grass, wood and mildly fruity. All this in a very mild/weak way. Flavour is quite much the same. Rather mellow and bland.

Cask@CastleInnChepstow. Aroma of malts, caramel and raisin. Brown color, small disappearing off-white head, fair lace. Malty, bitter, grassy, herbal. Sticky start with a dry finish. Flavorful bitter and not too sweet like many.

Had this in the Boat at Redbrook. It was dark amber in colour with no head and smelt of vinegar not a very enjoyable pint.
