3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pint from tap @ the Red Lion, Avebury. Amber colour with creamy, soft head. Hoppy aroma and flavour, but the low alcohol content shows in a somewhat watery palate. Still, a pleasant pint for my lunch.

Draught in the Ferry, Symonds Yat. This was much better than the cask IPA. Great appearance, creamy head. Keeps it body till the end. Smooth flavour, slight honey hints. Hoppy. Goes down extremely well. Good sesh beer. Had about 8 of these so cant be bad.

A little better than the one on Cask, it is a little creamy, and ht eoclour is somewhat dar. The foam is nice, and veyr malty. IT says it hs malted barley, I do not know why they say that.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask at Ye Olde Cock Inn, Didsbury. Dark amber with orange, low, fine head. Fruity aroma. Flavor of fruit and hops, blander than Abbott ale, though. Ok malt, but weaker than Abbott. Decent balance, good hopping. Smooth, medium light body. Not quite IPA strength malt or hops--even in the British sense of IPA. Disappointing, but nice enough.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Amber in colour, a slight caramel-malty taste. Sweetish. Good lacing on the glass

Keg at the Golden Farmer, Bracknell. Gold with a creamy off-white head; despite the typical nitrokeg smooth and cold style, some hops actually come through; finish is slightly bitter and dry.

Keg. Darlington FC. This was surprisingly good, and probably the best of the mainstream nitrokeg bitters. Medium white/off-white head. Clear amber-copper body. Caramel and lots of burnt toffee on the nose, complimented by thin hops, thin malt, metal and corn. Creamy, some silkiness and a little oiliness on the palate. Mild bitterness.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Tap @ Olutravintola Malja. Rated @ 11.6.2010.
Amber colour with a creamy head which collapses quickly. Little lacy. Aroma of citrus, fruits and mild malts. However, the flavour is not good as it’s buttery with skunkiness. Light bodied with watery mouthfeel. Not good.
