2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask (gravity dispense) at Pigs Ear Beer Festival, day 2 on 1 December 2010. Gold in colour. Not much condition. There’s a good, sharp citrus feel but there are other things going on that I found tough to pin down. A bit acidic with some clammy, moist malts and something a bit vegetal. I found it palatable enough, if a trifle odd.

Pigs Ear Fest! Gold beer, no real head. Dry palate. . Minerally orange hop and something like orange sherbet and a big dollop of paintstripper. Foul!

Cask at the Pig’s Ear BF 2010. Clear gold pour with a light film. Salty, sweaty, dank aroma. Armpits? Pringles? Weird flavor, too: floral, meaty, lightly sugary. Body is light, as is the carbonation. More of the odd floral and salty meat in the finish. Just odd...

From cask at William IV. Pours almost clear and golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is mild fruity and roasted malt. Fruity, mild and acidic and citric flavoured. Apples. Light malt base. Citric and bitter finish.
