3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
The silkiest, smoothest beer of the festival. Standard golden color, no head at all (from gravity pour). Caramel malts shine through with no off-putting flavors. Quite good. (on gravity cask, 2003 Charlbury Beer Festival, Oxon)
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Brown 500ml bottle consummed during one of my ’random beer tasting evenings’ just on its best before date in Oct 2010..
The beer had an almost dull look to it, dirty gold/amber in colour, neat white foaming head on top.
The aroma was a mild citrusy hop smell, nothing much though.
The flavours were a pleasant blend of hops and malts. Slightly more hops, although the malts were more noticeable in the first instance.
Mid bodyfeel, nothing heavy but certainly not watery in any way.
An OK beer and just above average in most aspects.

2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A clear, golden beer with a small, off-white head. Biscuits and toffee on the nose, citrusy hops as well. Citrusy, slightly sour, in a nice way that is, with biscuit pale malts and some toffee. Medium body. The finish is a bit short, but with a pleasant bitterness. Sure drinkable, but rather dull too. 110120
