2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask in the market porter. Alround rating: Smells alright, however taste is dry and have this massivly grassy almost tannic woody bitterness, a touch of nutty malt comes through and a bit of tangarine but the raw bitterness makes it quite hard to drink.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask (gravity dispense), London Drinker Beer Festival, March 2006. Amber colour. Very hoppy, in a hop juice kind of way, if you know what I mean (I do(. Sharp and refreshing with a big citric bite and a lasting bitter finish. Maybe a bit thin, but I like this type of austere, light bodied bitter. Didn’t really pick up much of the malty character that others seemed to note.

Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Burnished color. Nice glazed hop feeling. Excellent cossiting of flavor throughout. Hops feel a bit varnished like furniture polish - but good. Nice weight too.
