Cask at Stourbridge Beer Festival; missed this from the festival round up, clear golden amber pour with small white head, citrus aroma, citra comes through in the taste quite zesty with a hint if spice.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Malting Pot. Golden lager body with medium head. Nose is malty, spices, caramel. Taste is hoppy in the front, some honey, pines and cactus. Pretty smooth. Enjoyable.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Sourced Market St Pancras, golden clear with thin white head. It’s an ok golden bitter. Something a little funny in the flavour, not quite rubber, but erring on that side. Moderate hop moderate bitterness, not much of a finish, bit unexciting.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask conditioned at Crate Brewery, Hackney Wick, London. Cloudy gold with no head. Starts off fairly thin and it takes a little time for the beer to develop. An orange peel hoppiness does show through, fairly bitter and dry. A slow burner and not in the best of condition but reasonable enough.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask at CASK with Sarah. Pours a clear gold with a white head that starts at the edges and remains. Aroma has a good amount of grass with a backbone of bread and just a hint of leaves. Flavor has notes of grass and bread throughout and is very drinkable but a bit bland.

Bottle at Chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig, 2012, London. Pours lightly hazy gold with a medium, white cream head. Doughy malt nose, some white sugar. Medium sweet flavor, more basic white sugar. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sugary sweet finish, more dough. It’s fine. Not complex or anything close to it, but enjoyable.
