3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A Mes rate: cask at the Old Coffee House in Soho.
Semi hazy gold with a thin white head. Sweet and fruity with some faint dusty hoppage. A combination of creamy fruit and dusky bitterness. Sounds regular but there is something just that little bit different about it. Impressive length. Not bad at all.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cask at the Star, London N19, on 5th July 2009. The gold-coloured beer was served crystal clear with a small, but lasting white head that left slight deposits on side of glass during moderate speed of consumption. The ale was on the best form that I have drunk it. Hempy hop aroma moves quickly to a very bitter taste on the roof of the mouth with the herby hop continuing, finalising with a long, satisfying finish of hoppy bitterness.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Golden color, Light apple ciderish nose. Fairly aggressive upfront hoppiness, but somewhat grainy character I didn’t care for. Moderately bitter finish. For what it is, it isn’t bad, but hardly blew me away.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask at The Wenlock Arms. Hazy amber with a small froth. Fruity aroma. Fruity caramel flavours. Could do with some more bitterness.
