3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 17/20
Cask at GBBF 08. Very dark brown, lasting beige head. For a 4.2% beer it hasn’t got a lot of body, some mild plum fruit flavour. It is very very mild, which I like in a mild. Brewed very much to the style, some would say empty in the body, but it’s supposed to be. Good strawberry jam on finish. Some vegetal flavour. The strawberry is nice tough. A good dark fruity mild.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Aroma is not really a mild. Slightly spicy peppery hops, citrus and fruity malts. Taste is similar very drinkable and bitter, but not really what i wanted which is annoying.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Red brown with malty head. A heavier mild than usual, nice and malty with a fruity, sweetish background. A little filled out with caramel and a dry short finish. Not the complete article for me, but decent enough.
