2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
First tasted this in the Aragon Bar, Glasgow in September 2003. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear orange amber in colour with a thin white head. Sweet tangerine fruit noted in the short aroma. Thin resiny mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give a robust digestive biscuit base with thin toffee and citrus fruit. Short note of dry hops present in the bitter resiny aftertaste. Really good malt and hop balance in the short finish. A pleasant session bitter.

Cask at Cobden Arms. Pours clear, lght gold with no head, really. Malt aroma with some spice, apple and doughy bread. Flavor is lightly sweet and marked by citrus, earth and herbal hops. There are some mild plastic notes, too, along with more apple. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Odd finish, with some sweet fruit and sugar with dirty bitters. A tad thin, a tad uninteresting.
