Cask at the Cross Keys (JDW), near the Bank, London.. With Chris_o, joet, Duff & Kook. Golden and not in the beset condition. Sulphuric, floral beer otherwise with the typical light malt of your average pale bitter.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
copper coloured loose but firm head, high hoppy hit followed by a lower hop note quite drying with bitter citrusy linger.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20

3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Light gold, small white lasting head. Lacks aroma, just a bit fruity. Light sweet malty start with a fruity citric mid. Bitter finish. Medium bodied. Not a bad quaffer.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask@The Cross Keys, Central London. Slightly chalky, dusty character, citric grainy flavour, some bitterness. Nothing is really happening.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bright bottled at Peterborough Fest, drunk 8 days later. Orange gold colour. Mmmm - nice hops! Fruity, dusty, flowery, fragrant. Mmm. This is a pleasant dry session bitter. Cuts through the thirst like a knife.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pale gold colour. Limited aroma, but what there is is malty, which is rather unexpected given the appearance. Dry malt character continues onto the palate, but bitterness grows and even tends towards sharpness in the aftertaste. Curious, but I rather like it. Cask (handpump), Head of Steam, Euston.
