2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
*checks BBE date* well, disappointing. Expexted lots, apply nose, giving way to bitterness. Refreshing yes, hoppy no, some malt background and a cidery finish. Moor, Fyne this ain’t. Which is why I checked the best before date. This was supposed to be a well deserved treat tonight, guess I’ll have to just have another.

4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
(Cask @The Harp, London) Pours a lovely yellow gold with good head and lacing. Great hoppy/citrus almost honey taste and malt/bitter balance. Very refreshing and I can imagine at a moderate 4%abv a great summer session beer. Overall a beautiful golden ale, I can not think of one better I have had of its type. No surprise to me that it won the awards it did. Splendid.
