3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask (gravity dispense), Reading Beer Festival, April 2006. Probably the last sighting of this beer as the brewery has closed. Nice bright gold colour, with plenty of condition and a prickly mouthfeel. Less aroma than I expected, but there’s plenty of zesty citrus on the palate and a touch of sharp apple. Very dry and distinctly bitter. No great complexity but this is a good quencher, with lots of fresh, crisp bite.

Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Reading BF. A light straw gold coloured beer with some nice lemony citrus hops in the aroma. The taste is good strong hops again a lemon note dominates. A decent and very dry beer which will almost certainly be the last Cheriton beer I ever have.

Handpulled at 1st Golden Ale Festival, Babington Arms (JDW) Derby. Very floral nose, swerving toward the amber violet side. Floweryness softens into the palate, well tempered sweetness, roughens up just a necesssary touch toward the end.
