UPDATED: MAY 26, 2011 Cask conditioned handpump Basketmakers Arms Brighton A dark gold coloured beer with an off white head. A bitter beer with grassy notes.

2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Half shared with Magne, cask. 3.6% abv. Guest ale at Thomas Rigbys in Liverpool. Filmy layer over an amber body. Light fragrance of malty fruit. Mild fruity taste. The bitter finish remains light. Dry mouthfeel. Has not got so much to offer (04.05.2009).

(Cask at Victoria, Paddington, London, 18 Apr 2009) Pale amber colour with brief, white head. Fruity, malty nose with apricots, orange and dusty hops. Malty, fruity taste with notes of biscuits, apricots and dusty hops in the finish. Fairly thin body, balanced sweetness. Decent but hardly exciting.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: SEP 14, 2010 Cask at the Prince Blucher in Twickenham 10/8/08. Light amber with a smallish foamy head, the aroma has hoppy citrus which carries through into the flavour, along with sweet malt and a slightly fuller body than you might expect for a light-coloured 3.8% beer. Crisp rather than bitter. Re-rated at the Brewery Tap, Brentford 14/9/10, nose a little more biscuity, longer bitter finish with faint grapefruit notes. Still a lovely session bitter.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask @ The Santuary House, London.
Pours a great, clear, dark golden with a pretty, creamy, white head. Mild hoppy aroma, some caramel. Grass, flowers and pine dominate. Low carbonation, okay mouthfeel. Flavour is almost only hoppiness, but in a good way. Well flowery and pine with a soft dryness. Very drinkable.

UPDATED: DEC 16, 2010 Cask (Kitty’s, Helsinki)
Rich orange, almost no head. Soft malty aroma. Slightly salty tangy hop body, some pepper too. Wonderfully zingy body. Pretty salty. Very full bodied, sharp and interesting. Amazing for 3.8%. (5-3-8-3-14=3.3)
Rerate: Cask (Angleterre, Helsinki) (6-4-7-4-14=3.5)
So quaffable, lots more honey than before. Delicious.
Rerate: Cask (GBBF2010) (6:3:6:3:12=3.0)
Swet light grainy aroma. Orange, small head. Simple caramelly beer. Very low hops. Soft palate, carbonation low. Easy light bitter.
