Bottle: Hazy golden-orangey coloured, small foamy layer, quite sharp sweet-sourish nose, covering some sweet-malt; moderate sweet-bitter flavour with a distinctive acidity; sourish-fruity finish, underpinned by some bittering hops. Presumable infected, but nevertheless refreshing and quite well drinkable - in summer........
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask (gravity dispense), GBBF, August 2005 (Day 2). Pale straw colour. Everyone makes one of these pale quaffing ales these days and its often difficult to distinguish between them. I’d like to see them bursting with flowery, vivacious hops but too many end up just crisp, dry and vaguely citric. Like this one. Don’t get me wrong - its not an unpleasant beer and would work as a thirst quencher on a hot day, but it doesn’t stand out from the pack.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask conditioned - handpump - GBBF 2005. A golden coloured bitter with a citric hop aroma suffering from a little staleness. The taste has hops but is a little sulphuric and again could be fresher. Disappointing.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle picked up from Westholme, Londis, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon, had this 11-05-08 Hazy golden pour with a nice white head that didn’t stick around for long. Some small yeast clods settling on the bottom of my glass, some mild carbonation, nice fizzy soft lemon with yeast and a good hoppy sting not so bad at all.
