2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Cask@The Roebuck, Richmond, London. A bad bitter it has to be said. Stale malt, with some hints at hops in the finish. Extremely boring and a big struggle to get through a whole pint.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask @ The Pakenham Arms. Apparently this beer isn’t retired, unless the landlady of this pub is really into aging casks! The appearance is light chestnut color with a small white head. The nose is quite yeasty, a bit of light grains and white grapes. Not much aroma, to be honest. The taste is light summery strawberry fruit, some caramel, yeast. Light hay on the grassy dry finish. Light, easy drinking. Quite boring and lacking in the flavor department.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
First tasted this at the Troon Beer Festival in October 2005. Hand pump dispense. Clear pale amber in colour with a thin white head. Slight sulphurous aroma and thin mouthfeel. Poor lacing. Pale malt gives digestive biscuit base with redcurrant fruit notes. hokp resins give a metallic tang to the aftertaste. Finish is dry and bitter sweet. An ok session bitter.

[Cask from Bon Accord] Light fruity, peach notes, citric hops, slightly resinous. medium body, dry, hoppy finish.

(Cask, The Wharf, Aalborg) - Light amber colour. Light nose, with some malty notes. The taste is pretty one-dimensional, with slightly malty and hoppy taste. -Nothing special....

Cask at The Bridge House, London
Dark amber color. Light malt aroma. Some malt and caramel taste, correct bitterness, but also a touch of vegetables. Not particularly pleasant.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: FEB 12, 2006 Well, this was a little like vinegar, but good, I mean, a little sour, but drinkable and enjoyable at all. Amber, with head.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Cask conditioned at Charlies. Amber coloured. Ligh aroma with eggy notes. Sweet and slightly malty flavour. Thin and boring.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
[Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy orange beer with an OK off-white head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity - and so is the flavor, and here the fruitiness reveals peaches, and leads to a slightly bitter dry finish.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Cask @ Charlie’s Bar, Cph. Nose of bready malts with a light hoppy note. Copper colored body with a small white head. Some malts in the flavor with very light bitterness.
