2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Golden/reddy brew with an overriding character of treacle toffee. Some maltiness in the finish but mostly toffee! (Cask at Melton Mowbray beer festival)
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
I was a bit miffed that I somehow missed out on this in the confusion of a mob-handed tasting, until I realised after I got home that I had already tried it. It’s a golden, very floral, tangy, hoppy beer. Succulent and fruity, with a developing bitterness and a crisp, slightly sharp finish. Very refreshing. cask (gravity dispense), St Albans beer festival 2004.

Gravity, at the St. Albans Beer Festival, 2004
Golden bitter, slightly hazy. A good solid bitter with good length on the palate.
2.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - St Albans Beer Festival. Very nice aroma of thick juicy hops. The colour is too hazy. The taste is uninteresting with no real sign of the hops promised by the aroma.
