2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottled, 500ml from Bellingers Garage, Grove, Oxon. Hazy, opaque amber with white head. Sharp, cereal slightly chemical, salty notes in the body, some toastiness and then a used tea bag flavour from the hops a hint of mould and old tea leaves, I get the same from one of the much larger Breweries. Not one to return to for me.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Bellingers Garage, Grove, Near Wantage, Oxon some time ago consumed 28.03.12 Pours amber with a light haziness, slight white head. Nose is not really jumping out, taste is moderately bitter, in fact slightly more than moderate it isn’t too bad, bit drying at end, however there is a very slight clinical edge to this which just taints it a little. It’s ok, it just could have been a bit better. A6 A3 A6 P3 Ov12 3.0
