Cask. Solid enough beer. Orange peel, bitter hops, otherwise fairly simple and drinkable.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask in the market porter. Alround rating: A#Pale light honey malt character, floral hop, quite fruity with plums and oranges fluttering about. Decent drinkable stuff.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: AUG 29, 2008 Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Straw with a thin white head; vaguely citrus aroma; orange flavour, with some malt and sweet marmalade; lacking and real finish. Refreshing, but nothing more.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask. Light amber in colour with a good head. Nice orange-citrus scent. Dry and bitter with some acidity to it. Slightly carbonated. Fruity citrus and some hops. Spoilt by a metallic end.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask (St. Urho’s, Helsinki)
Light orange, dishwater head. Simple UK bitter aroma - malty and some bitter hops. Simple sweet, slightly watery, and fruity body. Not much finish, perhaps slightly papery or dusty. I’m left wanting. But not really for more of the same! Maybe OK in summer. Drink their ’Pint’ instead.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask. Pale nutbrown colour with a rather small, but creamy head. Aroma is a lot of fruits, some nectar and wood also being present. Flavour is fruits, wood and some mild grassyness to the finish. Quite normal cask.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
This was at my local irish-pub in Tampere as their "real-ale of the week" and must say I liked it a lot and it’s flavor lasted till the end of the pint.
