COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Special (Gold Medal Ale series) - January 2012.
Gold Medal Ales are produced monthly in recognition of some of the ’greats’ of history. This month’s story :-
In January 1936, John Logie Baird demonstrated a working television to the Royal Institution and by 1932 the BBC was using his system for the world’s first public service.
The pictures were received on mass produced TV sets made by the Baird Company. But by 1937 Marconi had developed a different improved system and Bairds was dropped.
However he continued his research on colour and 3D TV, only to die at an early age in 1946 before he could witness the full impact of his vision on the modern world.

Colour: Light Gold
Nose: Fresh fruit
Taste: A lingering bitter aftertaste
Hops: Pioneer & Crystal

BlackHaddock (5113) - Shropshire, ENGLAND - APR 7, 2012
Cask: hand pulled in The Crown Inn, Oakengates on 7th Feb 2012. Clear, lightish amber body: white foaming head that lasted the course and gave some good lacing. The nose was floral and fruity. The taste was interesting: a pleasant mix of flavours. Digestive biscuit maltiness with mild citrusy hops all jumbled together with a blob of yeastiness. I’ve struggled with some Burton Bridge beers over the years but this one seemed fine.

maeib (8749) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - FEB 8, 2012
Cask conditioned handpump Wig & Pen Northampton. A light golden beer with a white head and lacing. There is reasonable floral bitterness late on in this but otherwise it’s a yeasty only lightly hoppy beer. Just better than average.

sm89walt (1827) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - JAN 29, 2012
Cask - The Fat Cat, Norwich. Small and bubbly lasting white head, clear golden orange body. Lemon citrus on the palate, a fair dry and sharpish bitterness and a biscuity, pale malt base. Nice bite at the back, subtle Burton sulphur and a deceit juicy character mid palate. Light to medium body with a lingering finish and soft mouthfeel.

leaparsons (8984) - Leicester, Leicestershire, ENGLAND - JAN 25, 2012
Cask, Swan & Rushes, Leicester. Pale gold with a thin foam. Aromas are light apple and caramel with proper Burtonesque sulphur notes. Mellow lemon with buttered toast. Flavours are sweet caramel and citrus with clean hops. Dry on the finish with some spiciness. Decent.
