2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask, handpump at The Malt & Hops, Leith Nr Edinburgh in company of Craig, Rob and friend (sorry forgot name) & Loz 29.10.10 Pours mid amber with a white head, a touch sweet ( bit of confectionary shop going on) There is a bittersweet bite, touch shallow. This beer I noticed brought to an end a run of some 53 beer ratings 3.0 or above, I don’t normally look out for things like that but was just looking at what I’d had in October and noticed this slightly unusual sequence. Sadly my next rating (which may not go in sequence) was also a below 3.0 score. A6 A4 T5 P3 Ov11 2.9
