9th July 2009
4.0% Draft. Clear gold beer. Dry semi crisp palate. Reasonably well balanced beer. Hops just dominating the malt. Hops are fruity but mild. Malt is light and slightly sweet. An unwelcome sulphur streak brings things down.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
@ King William, Bath. Golden-amber. The aroma has a remarkably deep toastiness. Again the palate is toasty, not much else. Too simple. Thin toastiness like an Arab non-alc.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask @ King William, Bath. Medium gold and sudsy cask head. Plain aroma is wortier than usual. Nice soft palate. Is sweet, and the malt character is worty and even underfermented.
