Cask Conditioned
Clean golden color. The aroma is a bit cheesy. The flavor is not surprising, but at least there is some malt; the hopping is decent, well bitter, butterscotch, lightly aromatic and metallic. Quite pleasant.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask (handpump) at the Olde Bulls Head, Beaumaris, Anglesey, October 2005. Pale amber colour with a creamy, off-white head. Slipped down easily. Not much aroma. A smattering of citric hop on the palate to provide refreshment with just a hint of dry malt for more body. But its really just a decent, straightforward, quaffing bitter, with nothing really to distinguish it from hundreds of others. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, provided you’re not looking for too much to scrutinise and analyse.
