3.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask at the Shirley (Solihull) Beer Festival 2013. Poured a clear medium amber with a bubbly white head. The aroma was malty and of burning rubber! Some might call it barnyard funk. Either way not impressive. The flavour is medium to weak bitter, hoppy and with a little grass. The palate was a nice smooth malt with some lingering bitterness in the finish. Tasted great. Smelled awful!

Cask. Golden ale with a slight haze. Foamy white head. Nose is light and hoppy, with lemon and some nice wheaty malt. Taste is amazing - tons of summer fruitiness. The lemon is there again, but I can pick out various berries, strawberry, blackberry, gooseberry. Sweet malts and a bitter bam. Smashing.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Aroma: Peachy, biscuity and floral.
Appearance: Clear golden body with a thick, chalk-white head. No carbonation. Lots of sticky lacing.
Taste: Summer fruits - juicy strawberry and peach. Some earthy notes. Very light and sessionable. Quite sweet, then soft bitterness to finish.
Palate: Medium body with an oily texture. Flat carbonation.
Overall: Delicious golden ale, though I think it would benefit from being a little more carbonated.
