3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask (handpump) The aroma has grassy hops, yeast, and bread dough. The appearance is golden with a small head. The flavor is lighter than I was expecting but still very good. It has plenty of malt and just the right amount of hops for bitterness. The palate is thin but ok for a summer beer.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
The nose is hoppy. The color is golden and it has a small head. The flavor has a thin start, but then turning nicely hoppy. The only thing bearing this bear thru is the nice hopping - otherwise it is boring.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Bottle 50 cl) Slightly hazy golden beer with a creamy head. Appears desperate to leave the bottle as soon as the cap is removed. Soft, malty nose. Very light body with discreet notes of malt and a rather subdued bitterness. Very refreshing while cold, but gains more character as it warms while the hops start to leave a mark. 121205
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
From cask at Charlies. Pours almost clear yellow with a lacing white head. Aroma is mild hoppy with minor fruity note. Flavour is mild fruity, mild bitterness and subdued malt base. Light fruity and light bitter finish.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: AUG 7, 2006 Casked. Yellow golden colour, small white head. Barnyard, fruitish and malts in aroma. Grassy and fruity flavour. Aftertaste is fruity and candyish. The grassyness in it sucks. 5 3 6 3 11
Bottled. Golden colour, foamy mediumsized head. Vegetables, sweetness and otherwise weird aroma too. Juniper, hops and malts in aroma. Luckily a bit better flavour than aroma. More harsh overall than the casked version. (4 2 5 3 10)

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
<i>Cask Conditioned at The Bree Louise, London, with nitro to the cask (?)</i>
Blond color, with creamy head. Quite poor aroma, reminds me mass beers. Some malt flavor, medium round body, still reminding me not-so-good beers. Nothing special.
