3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
[Gravity cask at Reading BF] Pale amber, huge loose white head. Big bitter citrus taste, yet still very traditionally English in character (as are most of Chiltern’s brews) with a rustic earthiness in the finish. This is one of their best - refreshing, and yet comforting and fulfilling at the same time.

Cask at the White Horse 40 from 40 Festival, 3rd May 2010. Clear amber. Fresh but not very hoppy. Indistinct summer ale; good if you don’t want any harsh hoppiness. A bit flat and dull really though.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask conditioned at The Kings Head, Aylesbury, Bucks. Amber with white head. Hooray, a classic example of a dry, hoppy session bitter with a decent slightly roasted body and a fresh, cleansing bitter hop. Liked it lots, not sure why it’s a limited edition.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask at The Kings Head, Aylesbury, Bucks 21-04-10 Pours amber with a white head. Mmmhh. this is a really nice beer, crisp, refreshing and indeed very spring like. There is a good prolonged bitterness, citrus peel and pith. I like this because it is weighted towards the bitterness and lacks the residual sweetness that could have spoilt it, some hops on nose. Nice beer. A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov14 3.6
