Cask at White Swan, Broadstairs, Kent
After a long bike ride, this did not last long, so I don’t quite know what I made of it. Deep gold colour with hoppy nose and some malty fruit. Hoppy smooth finish

Cask conditioned at Coventry Beer Fest ’07. Pale gold, green with white head. Light hoppy easy drinking beer, also reminding me of a Kolsch. Bright and sessionable, sweet malt on the finish.
2.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
A Mes rate. Cask handpull at Baker Street ‘Sporks.
Clean gold with a good White head and lots of lace. Nice chewy resinous hop aroma with hints of citrus and a delicate sweetness in the background. The flavour is on a whole different level. And sadly, not a good one. Metal. Full on metal. It’s like sucking on a tin can. Bloody awful and not fit for sale. Spoons? Surely the brewer wouldn’t let it go like this. Must have been Spooned.

Clear gold beer. Dry and crisp palate. Nice level of hops without being too aggressive in the bitterness department.

Cask, half pint in fine condition at the JDWs festival. Low, white head leaving kirchenfenster on the glass. Clear golden body. Mild hoppy aroma. Ditto taste with a resin-oily touch. Nice and lingering bittersweet aftertaste. Medium bodied. Quite pleasing to the palate (Wheatsheaf Bar in Stoke, 02.05.2009).
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Gravity, Reading Beer Festival. A top fermented lager, something of an Atlas speciality, and a style that is spreading over from France and becoming very popular. This has some citric notes and a decent body. Not bad.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask-conditioned at the Knights Templar (JDW), Bristol 26/04/09. Deep gold in colour with a slight white head. Sweetish aroma, with some honey and floral hops. Flavour had some grains, citrus and floral hops and a decent bitter finish. Pretty good.
