Not impressed with this and not worthy of the name of such a good song, the beer appeared cloudy and lifeless, the taste was bland but not offensive

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tasted this in the Saltcot, Saltcoats (JDW) in October 2009. Cask handpump dispense. Clear pale amber with a thin creamy white head. Fresh green apple in the short aroma. Thin mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give slight digestive biscuit malt with only a gooseberry fruit note evident. Dusty hops dominate the resiny bitter aftertaste with a heavy astringency. Very dry and bitter finish. One for the hop lovers out there but not for me.
