2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Cask (handpump) @ The New Oxford, Manchester, England. @ [ RBESG 09 ]. This would have been a pretty average bitter, but somebody spilled some swimming pool water in it and ruined it even more :)

Salty ocean water aroma with notes of apricot and cherry. Almost clear yellow under dots of white. Sulfury popcorn malt flavour with a tiny bit of undiscernable fruit and moderate bitterness. Slightly bitter finish, low carbonation, light body.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
A Mes rate: cask at the New Oxford.
Pale gold with slight white head. Very green. Smells like there is a shitload of Irish moss in here. The faintest lick of hops in the finish but otherwise it’s just a very poor effort.

Cask in the new oxford. Alround rating: Poor pale malt character, dusty and unclean, small fruityness, not much hop character. Boring.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask @ the New Oxford Manchester. Blonde. Malty sweetish salty, sulphury flavor with some flowery hops. Indifferent aroma. Salty detergent aftertaste. Chloride, like in a swimming pool.

Ok... in a departure from normal rating... due to the INCREDIBLY high number of BLOND ales during the Shefiled trip that all blended into one another im breaking them down into three catagories
Catagory A : Golden Yellow ... light fruity lemon hop nose ... soft dull light lemon hop
Catagory B : Amber ... light dry lemon hop ... soft light lemon hop with a little malt in background
Catagory C : Amber ... soapy lemon nose ... light brigh lemon hop
Catagory D : Amber ... light grassy lemon hop ... dry grassy lemon hop
Catagory E : Amber ... light grapefruit hop ... again light hop with a little grapefruit
This is a Catagory B
