8th November 2010
Spoons festival! Slightly hazy amber beer with a half decent head. Smooth semi dry palate. Low carbonation. Lots of fresh grapefruit bitterness. Traces of orange and a whisper of peach. Turns a little sweeter before the finish but has a lingering bitter aftertaste. Good effort!

Cask, Last Plantagenet, Leicester. Amber with an off-white head. Aromas are woody with melon, grapefruit and lychee. Clean with floral notes. Base toffee with hints of lemon. Quite peppery and earthy. Flavours are dry biscuit malts with lots of melon and bittersweet grapefruit. Peppery with dry tea on the finish. Good.

Cask at the Tyburn, JDW, London. Pours clear, amber-gold with a very creamy, off-white head. Bready nose with some pineapple and floral hops. Nice flavor, with caramel and honey sweetness and some more fruity and dirty bitters. Light to medium in body with soft carbonation. Balanced finish, with more bread and butter malts, some honey, and tropical fruits. Light, dry earth in the throat, with light herbs as well. Not very complex, per se, but quite well rounded.

The Baron, Hinckley. Honey amber with a solid off white head. Soapy
grapefruit aroma. Soapy perfumed taste; stillness, shave of old lemon, grapefruit milkshake, huge lace. Good moussey lemon and lime feel; hops and softness. Tasty and well-hopped, as anything from Harviestoun tends to be.

3.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
JDW Autumn Fest, 2010. Classed by JDW, for whom this beer is exclusively made, as an IPA, this is a robustly hopped golden ale. More hoppy than an APA, but not too aggressive. Quite drinkable.
