3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Ruby red colour, with a white-off white head. Aroma was rich in malt, biscuit, caramel, a hint of coffeee, with a faint hint of hops. Taste was very well balanced, very drinkable. The texture was oily, could have been a bit more on the palate- it felt a little thin. Overall a tasty beer, would buy another.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap @ the Haymarket. Pours amber with a proportionate head. The nose is fruity rather than biscuity, and this follows through to the taste. There is a little toffee too! The palate is medium bodied and textured, clean but just slightly. astringent on the end. Overall, solid but not amazing, a light summer bitter I think!
