Served cold. Pale orange, tiny head. Soft hoppy aroma. Some esters, some mushroom, and bitter hops in the taste. Falls a bit flat. Drinkable, but not worth going out of your way for.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours hazy orange colour with an average medium head. Taste is surprisingly lame, would’ve been expecting more. Flowery hoppy, grassy aromas. Also notes of turf and honey: could this combination fail :O (yes it can)
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask, with Traci and Fin at the Turf Tavern, Oxford. Fresh grassy nose with a nice honey touch. Sweet caramel and honey with medium body and a decent hop backbone. Mineral finish. Forgot to take appearance notes, so I’ll go with Fin’s on this.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask at The Turf Tavern, Oxford in the company of Casey and Traci 10-07-08 Light amber, good sweet lemony bite with a nice flourish of honey. The bitterness lingers but it is very nice for this. Doesn’t have the usual Burton nose, or if it does it really isn’t that strong here, its a nice beer. This beer may have been warm gold but in the poor light at the Turf it looked more amber. Appeared to be named after Stirling Moss.
