3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On cask (handpump) at Great British Beer Festival, day 3 on 6 August 2009. Darkish copper. Mainly malty - nutty and toffee. I know that was probably intentional but I would have preferred a more assertive hop presence - the hops are distinctly restrained and slightly earthy. A workmanlike but unspectacular bitter with a rather old fashioned feel.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 08. That’s a decent beer, some citrus. Pretty decent, nice citrus fruits. Overall a pretty decent session beer. And my last beer of a very long day. Unless of course you count the halves of P2 Imperial stout and Moor JJJ IPA I had bottled back at my hotel. Oh the hangover.
