3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask conditioned - handpump - Squirrel Inn Rugby. A copper coloured beer with a whitish head. The aroma is pretty hoppy. The taste is a bit green at first and not the best, but it develops into a pretty decent beer with some citricity from the hops. A bit of an oddball, but drinkable.

2.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask, handpump at the Woolpack, Banbury, Oxon 18-02-08 Golden in colour with some haze detected, strange aroma to this with what smells like cats piss in there, never mind. Putting tha aroma to one side this was actually ok, quite refreshing fruity and bitterness is alright, not as good as the barman was telling me it was and nowhere near as good as the Mild which I’d had before.
