2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Cask. It was in reasonable condition, but it had quite a soapy flavour, with quite a dry, grainy sort of flavour, bland, watery, flat, limp, void of anything that would make me want to drink it again.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask Handpump at the Assembly Rooms, Derby 07/07/2006
Malty aroma. Golden coloured hoppy and malty with a crisp slightly dry lasting finish.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask conditioned at The Lindale Inn, Lindale, Cumbria. Pale gold with faint head. Quite a bland malty, caramel beer with a lasting toffee note. Smooth but showing its age methinks.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Pale golden with a small white head. Very sweet hop and malt aromas. Smooth citric, grassy taste. Slight bitter aftertaste. Served a little too warm.
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Cask, Derby Fest 06. Clear gold with a small white head. Aromas are sweaty damp grass with sweet, floral, perfumed notes. Flavours are sweet with some butter. Weak, grassy and incredibly thin. Tastless and damp, soggy and flacid - and other descriptives. As shit as Sven was for England.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pint pulled at The Roebuck on Richmond Hill (London), a clear golden straw colour with a healthy frothy white head. A subtle citrus aroma. A light mouthfeel with a good citrus hop flavour and a pleasant bitter finish. Refreshing after a good bike ride.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask handpump at the Black Horse, Whitby. Golden colour with a slim white head. Citrus aroma. Citrus lemon and hoppy taste. Quite a good golden ale.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask handpull at Market Porter, Borough. Golden, with thin white head. Very much in the line of a golden ale aiming at the lager market. Bit of citrus aroma, bit of hay/hop. Bit creamy in mouth, then sharp lemon citrus finish. Not unpleasant summer blond beer. Lemon curd fruit on end is pretty good.
