2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
[Cask at The Dolphin, Broadstairs] Amber, moderate white head. Sweet and sticky at first; a hoppy caramel middle with spicy hints leads to a very dry finish. Odd beer, not sure what to make of it other than that I didn’t enjoy it very much.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask conditioned at The Unicorn, Canterbury. Amber with white head. Sweetish malty bitter with quite a brown bread grainy note. Simple, but quite reasonable in a cracking pub garden in the sun.

Cask - Unicorn Inn, Canterbury. An orangey yellow beer with a fine white head. Bitter and fruity yet perfumey aromas. Plenty of spicy hop bitterness with a fruity malt balance. Lasting dry finish on a good, medium body. This was nice.

Cask: My least favourite of the Ramsgate brewery’s beers. It’s still not bad though. Very hoppy with a little malt in there. There is a bit of harshness towards the end which ruins it a bit.

A Mes rate:
Cask at Chelmsford Beer Festival. Golden blonde colour. Amazing sweet hoppy aroma. Unusual and very good. Flavour is not quite so great with some sourish hops and a slight tartness. Not great if I’m honest.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A golden yellow coloured beer with a weak white head. A malty nose, with a spicy, clove and cinnamon element to it. The taste is dry, with a hoppy touch to begin with, then the malty spice flavour comes through, with cinnamon and cloves amongst other standing out. A dry finish. (Cask - @ The Fox & Hounds, Heacham, Norfolk).
