2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask (HBF2009)
Apple, butter, wet sheep. Dull UK bitter. Not stored very well, to warm, and almost certainly not given a chance to show its strengths.

On cask at Cloisters. Pours a light golden colour with a fair white head. Aroma of lemon, caramel and yeast. Similar flavours with a little green apple to finish. Mild carbonation and an oily mouth-feel.

Specially brewed for the Raven pub in Bath. Golden in colour, refreshing, light and reminds me of good old English ales.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask @ Raven. Dark gold with thick, even sparkler lacing. Mmmm herbal hop aroma. Soft palate. Toasted macadamia nut flavors are very nice. Balanced, herbal, and good.

2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. I really didn’t notice the minimalist pumpclip on my first glance along the bar. They need to have a rethink on branding. I’m struggling to say much else. Amber with a small white head. Faint aroma. Faint watery taste. Slight bitterness. A general sense of Rice Krispies was imparted.

Cask handpull (as Raven’s Gold), The Raven, Bath. Foaming brass. Sweet apple and celery salad aroma, some orange peel emerging. Vanilla, biscuit and white bread afters. Not bad.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask conditioned at The Raven, Bath as Ravens Gold. Gold with white head. Sweetish malty beer, quite light with a caramel background. There is a little citricity showing through to cut through the caramel. Improves with drinking.
