3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
<i>A Mes rate: Cask at the Pembury Tavern.</i>
Darkish gold with a decent white head and hooraaaay some condition. Round of applause for the Pembury... (Sarcastic git.) Nice and hoppy on the nose with the Styrians taking centre stage. Lovely fresh lemon notes too along with just a hint of spruce. The flavour follows on well. Good hoppy stuff all round. So drinkable I’m struggling to rate it in time. Sadly there’s an all too clear soapy note that holds it back from being great and it could do with some extra finishing hops but all round it’s tasty and downable.

Cask conditioned at The Cider Shed, Norwich. Pale gold with white head. Light bodied beer but with a fruity hop charcter. Biscuit malt and fragrant, easy drinking for ABV, pretty reasonable.

36 Pint box thing, Guy’s wedding reception, Swainsthorpe, Norfolk. Oowee, completely lost track of how many I had of this once I was into double figures, but if my memory serves me well enough this kicked ass.
Really nice fragrantly fruity hoppy flavour. A bit on the chewy side doc, but that’s all good man. Was having a blast in the teepee getting mega loose on the dance floor and having a right royal knees up with the people I love.
Bliss.

Cask at Paisley Beer Festival 2008 ... amber ... very hoppy nose ... light fresh and clean ... bright and hoppy.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask at paisley beer fest. Alround rating: Pale malts, grassy peppery hints, alc seems present? The least favourable of the fat cat offerings, but still decent.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask - Fat Cat, Norwich. Amber in colour with a small, light off-white head. Quite a straightforward and delicate hoppy nose. Its flavours are quite floral and also grassy. A touch thicker on the palate than many of its style that I’ve had recently on cask too. A rather expectable bitter.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask (gravity dispense) at Reading Beer Festival, April 2006. A decent enough, if quite straightforward, strongish bitter. Tangy, slightly citric, hops and chewy, but dry, malt in the mix. Amber colour.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Amber. Low head. Good clarity. Sweet fruity aroma and well balanced fruity taste. Green oranges accent. Medium palate (Half on gravity served at perfect shape in the winter garden at The Fat Cat in Ipswich 22.09.2006).
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask at The Fat Cat Ipswich 22 Sep 2006. Golden coloured. A tiny head. Rather boring.
