3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask at bow bar ... copper ... thin creamy head ... sweet toffee nose ... light dry hop ... bit blah... no real character
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: MAR 7, 2012 On handpull in Preston. Clear dark amber colour with a white head. Light toffe aroma and medium fruity, with some hopps in the nose. Medium bitter flavour with some fruity undertones. Decent standard british bitter.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask (handpump) at the Three Guineas, Reading, 25 June 2009. Clear dark amber colour. Loose white head. Quite tangy hop presence. Touch of lingering bitterness. A standard UK session bitter - not a lot of substance but quite drinkable.
2.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Handpulled cask at the Crown. Horwich.. Amber with a creamy white head and a credit crunch busting price of £1.50 a pint. Light and bitter with thin body that goes with its low strength. Ok but I suspect it is just a watered down version of the standard bitter.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask conditioned - handpump - Malt Shovel Northampton. An amber coloured beer with an off-white ring of bubbles. The aroma has caramel and toffee with a little berry fruit. The taste is pretty non-descript. Thin and boring.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Amber, thin beer which has a gentle malty taste and obvious high-alpha hop use which makes the tongue feel like it’s been toothbrushed. Not my kind of beer. (Cask in Holt’s Brewery Tap, Manchester)
