UPDATED: MAR 24, 2006 Cask (handpump) at GBBF, August 2005. Badger have put a lot of time and promotional activity into this beer. Its certainly an attractive enough beer - a rich copper colour. But, after that, although its perfectly pleasant, I thought it fell a bit short. The aroma is gently grassy, but a bit short of intensity. On the palate its quite dry and fresh with dabs of citric hop, a smidgen of fruit and a dash of bitterness. But it didn’t really have enough of anything to make a lasting impression. So it ends up in the overpopulated British "solid but unspectacular" camp. (5/4/6/3/12/3.0). RE-RATE. Fountain Inn, Chichester, 25 Feb 2006. On far better form than my first tasting. Bright, mid copper colour. Hops far better defined. Very citric. Crisp and refreshing.
