2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20Bottle from Beers Of Europe, King’s Lynn
Golden color, with persistent perlage and generous head. Light aroma of Brett, probably not intended. Dry mouthfeel, again with some astringency and sourness; quite strong bitterness; the infection is mild and the result is drinkable; still, it’s flawed.

UPDATED: OCT 22, 2011 500ml bottle from Middle Farm, drunk at home, 22nd Oct 2011. Slightly cloudy amber with a big white, very firm head that leaves a lot of lacing. I’m torn on the nose - has some spiciness but also some soapiness. Biscuity malt taste, medium palate.
Original rate: 6/3/6/3/12
Cask at the Eastbourne Beer Festival, 11th Oct 2008. Clear amber. Weak malt aroma and a similar taste. The added wheat is evident and makes it feel quite heavy bodied. Feel stronger than 4.2%.
