3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from the brewery. Pours clear golden with a big frothy white head, lots of visable carbonation. Strong resiny hops aroma. Taste is sweet malty with a moderate bitter end.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Golden-amber. The aroma is a bit sharp, with fruity hops. A little sharp on the palate as well, fruity and light overall.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from brewpub. Poured with yeast so slightly hazy. Decent head. Through the yeast is a nice fruity ester and plummy floral hops. Is overcarbonated and very fizzy. Through the yeast, has a pleasant leafy bitterness and tasty toasty malts. Can tell it is a very good beer but not at its best here in the bottle.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draught in the Driftwood Spars, St Agnes - 7/7/10. Oaty nose with a chocolate taste. Consistent dark caramel colour. Absolutely lovely - only had one pint but could happily have had many more.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle-conditioned at the brewpub. Honey amber pour with a slight fog and slim white foam. Some vegetal and crushed malt aroma with hints of apple, dog and sulphur. Parsnip, nuts, wafery malt, soapy bittering hop, bilious citrus. Disconnected, and not their best.
