2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
I'm not too impressed and I usually like Abbeydale. This has a tasty light fruity malt. The finish is not just bitter, but harsh, almost petrol-like.

Cask@GBBF2009. Pale yellowish golden colour, not much head. Aroma is sweet sugary nectar along with wood and some bready malts,. Flavour is quite much the same. Balanced brew, but quite boring.

Cask at GBBF 09. Pale yellow, small froth. Intense fruity aroma. Melons and mellow fruit flavours, a touch of honey. A small guy that achieves a lot.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask at The Waters Green Tavern, Macclesfield. Pretty much golden with a medium white head. Citrus and floral flavour and aroma and something not too nice in the finish. Bit weak and watery but it is a little low on the abv so fair play on that score. Not bad but nothing moving me here.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask, Lion Tavern, Liverpool. Looks like piss, with a fastly vanishing head. Floral, citrus aroma and flavour. Clean tasing but a bit watery. Dry finish. Not sold on this.
