I was expecting something quite nice, but this was a big dissappointment, I won’t be drinking this again
3.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 20/20
July, 2004 JDW, Rochester Fresh session bitter. Hops taste as though they’re still growing - mmmm, green and twirly. I feel as though I’m wandering though a hop garden. Lovely, dusty, oily, flowery. Clean, crisp and refreshing. Malt is a little sour, but that just adds an interesting edge. I enjoyed this!

UPDATED: JUL 30, 2007 1. Cask Handpump at the Dog Inn, Over Peover 28/07/2002
Golden amber coloured with sour fruit aroma. Bitter. Pleasant creamy hop finish.

Amber coloured and slightly hoppy with some dryness and malt in a crisp finish.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask Conditioned at a Wetherspoons, Tiverton, Devon. Pale gold with sluggish head. It seems that Spoons can create boring beers out of very promising ones. All the signs are there for a light tangy special bitter, but this was on the turn and flat. Oh dear.
