2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Cask-conditioned @ JDW, Soton. Hops and caramel aroma. Thin with bitter taste and a touch of rustiness. Not too good and not very summery either.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask at the Lord Moon Of The Mall in London. Weakened bronze. No head. Nose is mildly hopped with some ice tea notes, and some sweetened malts. Some nice wafts of fruit as well. Taste is very fruity with more sweetener coming through. Hop charcter is apparent as well. Moderate palate. Smooth in parts. Finish was more of the fruit taste.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Now under the Camerons badge. Pale amber colour. Clean and crisp, with a bit of dry malt, but a rather watery body. Not bad, but not exciting. Cask (handpump), Lord Moon of the Mall (JDW), Whitehall, London SW1.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask Fresh @ JDW's Sir Julian Huxley, Surrey. Pale rusty bronze colour. Aroma is wooly and musty. Pale malt, slightly sweet but not clingy or sticky. Thin to medium body. Fruit in the middle to finish - thin, slightly citric, quite refreshing. Slightly citric hops playing along on top becoming more assertive and more earthy in the finish. A pleasant, refreshing, decent quality and quite tingly stimulating ale. Nice.
2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask Conditioned. Pale yellow beer with thin head. Thin aroma with light malty lager flavour. One of the many attempts to move lager drinkers to beer, but ultimately highlighting the differences not making similarities would be better.
