3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
[Cask hnndpull at Back of Beyond, Reading] Deep gold with a small lasting white head. One long, crisp, refreshing taste of earthy bitterness. No complexity here, but it’s none the worse for it - this is a decent if simple bitter.

Cask at the Kingston Arms, Cambridge. Gold with a thin white head; malt aroma; thin at first but then developing a rich chewy grainy malt body with some orangey fruit; the finish is dry and bitter; seeming to leave a barley sugar after taste - or am I imagining it?
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Oct, 2008 JDW, Rochester Pale orange - cloudy and with sour notes. Barmaid had said it would be cloudy, but I thought that would be due to beer being put on too quickly. This beer is slightly infected - however, it’s a pleasant mild tartness that works well, giving a feeling of a wheat beer. OK, but not exciting.

Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Gold with a small white head. Sweet malt aroma. Malty taste, the sweetness rather candied. A curious papery backtaste. Some bitterness. Rather straightforward, but no less acceptable for that.

A Mes rate:
Cask at Quinns. Traslucent golden brown with a slight white head. Mildly hoppy aroma with a little sweaty feet. Straight forward hoppy flavour with a bitter finish, Dull and uninspiring.
