2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Back log from Spring of 2011 in Scotland; On tap, poured a golden color with an average head. Aroma and flavor were on the bland side. Some bread and citrus, but a fairly underwhelming beer.

Light and refreshing despite its poor pale appearance, although there’s no real hints of lemon.

Cask Handpump at the Penny Black JDW, Northwich 06/04/2011
Malt and some fruit aroma. Small white head. Golden coloured hoppy and a little fruity with a citrus flavour. Creamy and slightly dry lasting malt finish.

JDW Fest. Clear gold beer, residual white head. Light crisp palate. Lots of fairly dry pale malt with a nice touch of citrus and just a whisper of lemon. Dry finish. Goes down easy.

Cask at the Captiol, Forest Hill. Light golden pour with a white head. Subtle lemon nose with hints of peach, caramel and pineapple. Fruity tang. Plenty of lemon flavour in the after-taste. Liquid lemon drops.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
[Cask at Monk’s Retreat (JDW), Reading] Rich gold with a moderate white head and a slight fizz. A little lemon (although not as dominant as the name implies it should be), some sweetcorn and a clean if rather cardboardy bitterness. OK refresher, if a little thin.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Hand pulled at the Figure of Eight, Birmingham. A bit of lemon barley, cardboard and some spring water. Fairly dry and a bit refreshing, but I won’t be rushing back. Felt a bit weird in the mouth. Strange.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
The Larry, Nuneaton Lemon squeezed on thistle and oak aroma. Thick oatmeal-and-slate Scottish mouthfeel, TCP dabs, oak, lemon, traces of sappy hop, oak again. Soft, dunked biscuit afters without a dab of butter. Not a note out of place. Could kill this in some quantity. Negligible but in good nick and very pleasant.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask at the Chequers Inn, JDW, Stourbridge. Pours gold with a small head. Aroma is lemon washing up liquid with some light malt behind. Not much to start with the taste. Thin grassy finish. Certainly not lip smacking.
2.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask @ The Counting House JDW. Strong vegetable aroma. Pale golden colour with a great foamy head. Dry biscuit flavour with a sweet aftertaste. Not getting much fruit here.
