Bottle at Chriso Snow Tasting, thanks to Chris, 20/01/13. Lightly hazed copper brown. Nose carries light citrus fruti, touch of pale malt, faint hops. Taste follows, pale malt mergeing with light fruity dulness. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, light bitterness in the finish. Sub par twiggy dullard.

Clear medium yellow amber colour with a average, frothy - fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, fruity, caramel, grass - leather notes.

Scopey (3253) - Croydon, Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 26, 2013
Bottle at ChrisO Snow Tasting. It pours deep ruby with a small white head. The nose is caramel, bread, red berry and a touch of citrus. 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.

Leighton (6989) - London, ENGLAND - JAN 21, 2013
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.

imdownthepub (8492) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - NOV 6, 2011
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.

Blairgus (1753) - California, USA - JAN 29, 2011
Orange/brown, faintly cloudy, no bubbles. Smells rather yeasty for what otherwise smells like a malty real ale. Med/full body & mildly fizzy. Bready/malty flavour with a sharp finish. meh
