Dark ruby, thin beige head. Nose is light and warm with some maltiness and some weird piss nose. Some bitterness in the nose. Mouth is watery and bitter, some light fruit, golden ale style, and some malty warmness towards the end. Quite watery all the way through. Nothing special.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
’Gribble Pukka Mild’. Cask conditioned at Ealing Beer on Broadway Festival 2006. Almost black. Mild grainy and malt aroma. Juicy sweet malt with some fruit to taste. Refreshing.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask conditioned @ South Western Arms, Soton. Dark red. Lots of choc coffee and fruity berries. Not sweet with a tart berry finish. Overly cold (served from pin in unheated back room) so slightly muted. Hard not to like mild when it is like this but nothing to love either.
