3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
28th February 2013
Craft, Islington. Almost clear amber beer, little white head. Palate is light and minerally crisp. Light creamy malt that blooms soft. Metallic note in the mid. Minerals. A little semi sweet citrus fruit in the finish. A little off centre and watery but passable.

Keg at North Bar, Leeds. Pours a hazy-ish amber, small head. Aroma is hoppy, with a real Belgian whack - a little tart and musty. Taste is fruity and bitter hops, with the Belgian characteristics coming through very strongly - almost brett-ish. Coupled with the bitter finish, its a bit too astringent at the end. Not bad, though.

Cask @ CPK. The pour’s a slightly hazy amber orange color with a tight, creamy white head. Attractive beer. The aroma’s of white grape, orange peel, a bit of countryside yeastiness. Dusty attic. The taste is mango fruit salad, tropical fruit squash. Angel food cake bread. Slightly funky yeast, tame. Moderately bitter finish. Slightly syrupy body. Fine carbonation. Overall, a pretty good effort.
