The taste is toast, red berry, caramel, leather, wood, citrus pith and a some plastic with a dry finish. Medium body and low carbonation. Smooth, but lacking in flavour. Very so-so.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle at the ChrisO Snow Tasting, London - yet another Buckden score! Pours clear, light gold with a fine, bubbly white head. Dry, grainy bread aroma. Light sweet flavor with faint berries and semi-dark malts. Light bodied with average carbonation. Mellow dryness in the finish, with lightly toasted and bready malts and mild, leafy bitterness. A fine sessioner, nothing more.

Bottled, 1 pint, as Dunster Village Anniversary Ale from Dunster Village Shop, Somerset. Ruby amber with white head. This smelled a little stale on opening, there is a strong caramel element to the beer with a stelish spelt note. Some roastiness. A bit of a struggle.

Med/full body & mildly fizzy.
Bready/malty flavour with a sharp finish.
