3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Hand pulled at the City Tavern, Birmingham. Pale brown, light and airy with a fluffy head. Creamy mouthfeel generally. Reminds me of Rowntree jelly in a way; toffee light, very smooth. Pleasant session material.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
First tasted this at the Hogshead, Paisley in October 1997. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear pale amber in colour with a thin creamy white head. Slight malt note in the short aroma. Thin mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malt gives a digestive biscuit base with a touch of caramel and tart pomegranate fruit. Hoppy resins give a dry bitterness to the short aftertaste. Slight hint of dry liquorice in the smooth malty finish. An ok session bitter.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask conditioned at Cockney Pub, Århus
Golden color. It has a light apple aroma (from the fermentation), too much yeast aroma and yeast flavor, some residual sweetness. Too simple.

Cask handpull at Lewes Arms, Lewes. Copper colour, very thin beige head. Buttery toffee aroma. Buttery best bitter with a toffee finish and touch of tongue tingling hop. Not great.

Cask Handpump at The Wellington, Birmingham (where it was selling for only £1.10/pint as they needed the pump for their forthcoming beer festival, but I tried not to let that fact affect the scores!). Amber with a short head and a perfumed scent. Caramel and bitter hops in the taste. Simple and good.

On Handpull at Freshfield Hotel, Formby.
Beautifully clear in the glass with a smooth creamy head.Not overly bitter in taste but a lovely balance of hops and malt. One of the best session beers I’ve tasted for some time.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask Conditioned at The Bell, Banbury. Mid brownt to orange beer with fluffy head. A bit of a basic bitter, medium roasted malt, some fruit and then a boiled, not fresh bitterness. I found this to be an over processed beer for a cask, almost a carbonated bottled beer.
