3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask at the Turf Tavern, Oxford, 01-06-08 Pours golden with white rim of bubbles, the aroma is like a slightly damp towel but to be fair there was some sweetness there as well. Taste is pleasant enough nice honey sweetness floods through, some bitterness, quite clean tasting and finishes with some hops and a slight dryness and almost a lagery character at the end.

Taste has hoppy, sweet, very tart, citrus and grapefruit notes. Quite nice, minimal cloying. The hops seem to simmer on the tongue. It is a good beer although there’s something missing...
