3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Gravity cask @ Reading Beer Festival 2006. Perhaps floral hops. SLight toffeish malts. Dry body. A lightly flavoured but acceptable bitter.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask (gravity dispense) at Reading Beer Festival, April 2006. Nice burnished copper colour. Robust, dryish malt character. Just a touch of light, spicy hop. Not really enough to grab my full attention. Solid, if unspectacular.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Reading BF. An amber brown coloured beer with a sweetish aroma. The taste is also quite sweet. Is there some honey in this?
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Gravity at Reading beer festival 2006. Amber. Dry malt aroma. Plain, but palatable. Balanced dry and smooth sweetness.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask Conditioned at Reading BF 2006. Reddy coloured. Mild, sweet malt flavour and a few hops thrown in for good measure. Just boring.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask @ Reading 06: Amber in colour. Earthy hops, but just another bland bitter.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Half pint pulled at The Bulls Head in Brecon (Brecon Beacons NP, Wales), a darkish amber with an off-white head. Not a strong aroma, but there was maltiness and a yeastiness. An earthy maltiness in the flavour, not strong though, and quite smooth.
