Cask Conditioned at Reading BF 2006. Golden. Harsh aroma of paint fumes. Sweet malt and marzipan aroma with some cherry stones. I liked this one more than the others seemed to.

3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask conditioned - handpump - Market Porter Borough London. A copper coloured bitter with a dry, faintly fruity aroma. The taste was quite bland with some fruit. However there was a certain tasty crispness to the beer which gave it a reasonable mark.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pale and slighly bland looking bitter. The aroma is dry and seems slightly smoked and the flavour is mildly sour but generally weak with a little bitterness. Over quite a basic beer.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20
Cask. Amber coloured beer with a thin white head. Very thin aroma, citrus and spicy hops. Body is thin and watery with very little flavour. Not worth the trouble.
2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
UPDATED: FEB 22, 2004 Gravity cask, Catford Beer Festival. light amber. watery texture with an earthy bitterness. Refreshing without being in any way remarkable. The dry bitterness lingers in a long dull manner like a thick thug in a dark alleyway. [1.9]
Bottle. Attractive whiskey malt aroma from this bottled version. Same the rest of the beer is such a let down. Watery texture with very thin malt awareness, and a rather dull hop bitterness. I mean, the hops are there, but it's just a bitterness without interest.
