3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask @ Abbotsford, Edinburgh. Amber with lasting head. Very fresh wort in the aroma. Not necessarily hoppy as one would think. Is thirst quenching and quaffable. Is leafy with great minerals in the body too. Oh so balanced! Perfect balance of malt and hop.

Cask. A frosty golden beer with a nice lasting white top. Crisp toffee notes and strawberry in the nose. Strawberries and cream right through the body of the drink with fresh kiwi. Not much of a finish, besides a freshness.

@ Abbotsford, Edinburgh. Golden amber. Not much aroma. Light toasty with some stale tobacco notes, maybe a mineral accent. Dryish beer but otherwise nothing special. Some juicy notes late help out.

UPDATED: AUG 22, 2006 Re-rate, August 2006, cask (handpull) Alex Hotel, Derby.Far better; decent hoppy nose and clean citric flavours.
Original rating: 2.5 Gravity at Olde Dolphin Inn Beer Festival, Derby. Orange-to-yellow body, average bitterness, ticks the right boxes without overperforming.

Straw coloured with a cereal-grassy scent. Nice mouthfeel. Not exactly carbonated, but enough to tingle one’s tongue! Honey and some grass in the mouth. Bitter-sweet and not too dry. Rather good.
