2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask hanpull at the old buttermarket Canterbury. Mid brown amber colour with thin lasting head from a sparkler. Its a ok bitter which is what I expect from this brewery. Touch of animal fat on the flavour. Aroma is not great with a touch of too much acidity and rest of flavour has a bit of that too. Touch of nuttiness . A bit too much like licking the i.side of a nut shell to me. Odd

Tasted this in The Esquire House, Glasgow in February 2010. Cask, handpump dispense. Crystal clear copper in colour with a thin white head. Slight hint of fresh green apple in the short aroma. Pale malts give a fiery maltloaf base with tart redcurrant fruit and toffee apple notes. Slight whiff of dusty hops gives a dry aftertaste in the balanced bitter sweet finish. An ok session bitter.
