3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask (Southampton Arms, RBESG2011 Saturday)
Sweet rich aroma, classic UK bitter. Deep orange, small loose head. Very sulfury taste, bitter hops. Soft palate, carbonation low. You’re left with the hops in the finish, nice. Pretty standard and boring bitter formula, but with enough character to keep it interesting and tasty.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Amber brown colour, off-white head. Light, malty aroma, light caramel, light fruity, some English hops. Rather bitter flavour, slight malts. Bitter finish with some malt touches.
Surprisingly weak aroma, but overall quite nice.
