3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask-conditioned at the Cumbrian beeriodical, Seven Stars, Bristol June 2013. Deep gold with a slight, off-white head. Slightly yeasty stone fruits, cereal malts and a touch of caramel, before a moderately bitter finish. Ok.

2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
A malty and biscuit tasting ale with a light brown colour. Full-bodied texture.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Served via cask dispense at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green(Feb ’12).
Dispensed into a UK half pint jug to a clear amber/gold colour with a thin white head which soon subsided to a small pond on top - around the edge of the glass.
On the nose, caramel a little yeast and some fruit aroma, but not particularly strong in any area.
Taste wise more going for this beer than the smell! Sweet malt, caramel, bready, a little yeast and a bitter hoppy dry aftertaste.
Mouthfeel was decent enough, low carbonation, medium to full in body.
Overall - an OK beer but not something I’ll be looking to actively seek out again!
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Aroma of fruit and bread. Deep gold-copper color with full beige head. Nice mouthfeel, dominant hops, notes of honey and orange.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12th Feb 2012: Sunday lunchtime session at The White Hart, Shifnal, Shropshire. Hand pulled pint.
Light amber body with an off-white which started thin and got even thinner as the beer level sank down the glass.
Mixed bag of aromas: all weak, hints of malty sweetness and fruit as well as hop citrus notes.
The taste was also a mixture, thankfully stronger than the smells: Dried fruits, biscuit malts and a mini hop bitterness towards the end of each gulp.
Not a world beater, but well worth trying if you ever see it
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Stall malt flavor with an alcohol and acid aftertaste. Light golden with little aroma and a white head. I’ll pass if offered again.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On cask at Greyhound Hotel, Shap. Pours golden, quite a strong taste, nothing complex. Perfectly chuggable ale.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Carringtons, Chorlton. Amber looks with nothing much to shout about in terms of head. Sweetish gently fragrant nose with some pale malts, floral hop and summer fruit lurking. Similar story to the flavour with some bitterness towards the finish. Nothing earth shattering, but easy drinking and likeable enough stuff.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
deep gold colour with a thin head, chocolaty aroma, fruity dark chocolate taste, very nice
