2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Not really my kind of beer - more of an IPA drinker. Fruity, sweet and malty to taste. A little bland though.

Bottled. Amber with a decent, off-white head. Yeasty, stone fruits, some caramel and citrus hops before a dry finish with trace of sourness. Ok.

2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask conditioned handpump The Rake London 19/03/13. An amber brown coloured beer with a white bubbly head. A bit sweet and sugary in the nose. Sweet and disjointed in the mouthat first where it’s a bit cloying. Berry fruitiness then starts to come through and it becomes reasonably tasty. A beer of two halves, neither of which is brilliant but it’s OK.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle from Coppers, Newcastle. A hazy dark amber beer with toffee and a slight sour citrus fruity flavour with a sweet and malty finish.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. For some reason I expected this to be much better than it turned out to be. Quite lively on opening which is never a good start. Clear with some bitterness but no real taste. Bland and disappointing.

500ml bottle from Hippo Beers. Dark amber brown colour, reasonable head. Resin fruity hop aroma. Fruity resin flavour. Quite sharp with mild citrus aftertaste. Disappointed with this one.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
500 ml bottle, marked 4.4% ABV, thanks to Reza from 3 Små Rum! BB 04 MAY 2013, sampled on November 22, 2012.
Clear amber color, white head. Sweet, malty, caramel scent. Malty, sweet, grain, caramel taste. Medium mouthfeel, medium high bitterness. English character malt coming through in both scent and taste.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Stirchley Wines and Spirits, Birmingham. Clear copper pour with a thin white frothy head and a little lacing. Malty aroma and a malty flavour with some toffee notes. Nice bitterness on the palate. Needs to be drunk young, fresh and not too cool. The flavour developed and this beer got better as it got warmer.
