2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask (gravity dispense) at London Drinker Beer Festival, March 2006. Golden colour. The aroma is laden with diacetyl and clammy hops. Thin mouthfeel, with some lemon. Nondescript stuff, although I thought the condition was probably dodgy. Others who tried it at the same time seem to have found it OK, so I’m not sure.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask Stillage at the Ship & Mitre, Liverpool 21/04/2006
Fruity aroma. Clear golden coloured hoppy and fruity pear flavour with a bitter slightly creamy sweet finish.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask (London Drinker 06): Some mild fruity malts, along with a suprising yeasty note. Golden, flat apperance. Drinkable, but not great.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask@London Drinker. A below average golden ale, with some sweetish pale malt characters, and lightly citrusy hops. Too watery in the finish thouogh, short flavour.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
London Drinker. Golden ale. Slightly hoppy, floral, fruity. Citric. Quite mildly flavoured. OK but not a great example of the style.
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Cask gravity at London Drinker 2006. Golden, thin white head. Diacetyl all over this. Really thin and horrible. Probably not served at its best given Dan’s previous rating.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Yellow colour. Blisteringly citrus, sour and dry. Very long finish. Very aggressive on the tongue, but a smooth mouthfeel. Pretty flat and oily, but a good beer.
