2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle from the Little Beer Shop. Pours a clear orange, similar to apple juice, with lots of carbonation yet no head. Plentiful citric aromas and almost cidery at points. Dry apple flavours with some lemon-like sourness. I didn’t find much bitterness in this brew except a slight bitterness in the predominantly sour finish.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
A mid amber brown coloured beer with a weak white head. a breasy malt nose, with a little citrus fruit aroma. A dry and bitter taste. The bready malt element is prominent again, making it a bit cloying, but there is however, a fruity flavour towards the end that helps to balance the flavour. The finish is dry. (Cask - The Fox & Hounds, Heacham, Norfolk).

Half pint on cask. Clear amber with some foam and lacing. Almost lack on aroma. Bitter and a bit spicy. Smooth mouthfeel. Very anonymous apart form the bitterness (The Champion in Norwich 24.09.2006).

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask (gravity dispense), Cambridge Beer Festival, May 2006. Pale amber colour. Distinctly dry with hints of citric hops. Not much to it really. Perfectly drinkable but entirely unremarkable. The rather dull mouthfeel suggested that conditioning may not have been perfect (well this was a beer festival).

Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Cambridge BF. A copper coloured beer with a dry aroma complicated by some diasetyl. The taste is fairly fruity with some lemony English hop bitterness. Dry and reasonable.
