2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Fest ’12. Brown with slight head. Thin with a slightly harsh dry caramel note to it, also hints of boiled veg, almost over boiled in character. Disappointing really.

Cask. Deep amber color. Floral nose, some strawberry, fruit. Clean malts. Taste is sweet, light with a watery finish. Light bitterness. Palate is light, thin. Overall, OK though not exciting.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask at the London Brewers Showcase 2011. Pours hazy, red-brown with a faint, white head. Big malt nose with some ripe fruits and toast. Medium sweet flavor, big malt character, some grape and other fruits, light toast and dark bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Fairly sweet finish, lots of semi-dark fruits, some grape, light pine. Very enjoyable beer. Pretty solid.

A Sim rate (cask at the Florence): Malty, rather unadventurous aroma. Flavour is serious crystal malt with a bitter finish that lingers. Biscuity, mutex fruit & floral notes. Quite uneventful really.

Cask at the Florence, rated 18 June ’10. Malty and smooth, with little bitterness. This would be a good homebrew, and at least it wouldn’t frighten a smoothflow drinker, I guess.

Slightly cloudy with a decent head, smells a bit fruity. Noticeable alcohol to taste, hops and a slight acidic zing. Floral finish. Better than their "Weasel" but still decidedly amateur

Cask at The Cock and Hen Fulham 4 Feb 08. Golden colored. A small head leaving filigrees on the glass. Fruity aroma with hints of candy. Sweet fruity overall impression. Some bitterness in the finish.

Cask at the Cock and Hen, Dec 07.
Fruity, rather sweet and malty, a fuller beer than the Weasel. I prefer the other one, this was a bit too sweet and unbalanced, without being offensive in any way. I hope they expand their range!

Cask @ The Florence, Herne Hill London. Pours a dark amber beer. Nose of malt. Taste is light - not much hops present. Somewhat powedery. prefer the sister beer from the Florence Brew Pub: Weasel
