3.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
June 2010: Brown 500ml bottle, poured into an ’Old Speckled Hen’ vase shaped pint glass. My bottle claims 4.2% Vol, not 3.9%. It asked to be served chilled, it was.
Almost pilsnerish in looks, pale golden with a white foaming head. Plenty of carbonisation, bubbles rushing through the body are clearly seen.
The smell is a little ’home brewish’ in parts, meaning all the ingrediants feature in the aromas, some citrusy hops, some yeast and a hint of both barley and wheat.
The taste is sharp and citrus flavours dance in your mouth, very refreshing and pleasant. I’ve had this in cask form and it wasn’t as good as this bottle, maybe the cooling makes a difference, or it is a slightly different brew?
Very drinkable in deed.

Hand pulled light straw coloured outdoor ale. Thick head which dissipates. Dry and citrus flavour with a bitter after taste. Easy drink but lacks robust flavours to make this a session beer.
