2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
500ml bottle - Dark gold with a small head. Aromas are dusty with apples and citrus. The hops are noticeable with a light biscuit in there too. Flavours are biscuit malts with lightly sour citrus and a dry finish. Not much going on. Nothing to make me feel any pride.

Cask @ Horse and Jockey, Chorlton
Golden clear body. Spare frothy head. Sweathy with hint of cheese and malt to the nose. Tastes of plum and cheese. A bit boring. (6.Jul.2012)
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Clear pale amer with a thin light good lacing lasting white head. Smells of sweet caramel malt and citrus hops. Mostly sweet nutty malt.
Medium Oily frothy body. Very sweet caramel malty sugary start, cereal and fibre with a bitter soft hop grass finish. Drinkable but the balance is a bit off.

4.0% gold colour with a good head, some hops in the aroma, average bitter taste.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Golden amber body, which isn’t crystal clear - creamy head. Sweet malty smell, almost caramel and some grapefruity hops. In the mouth, they blend well, some very sweet caramelly hops in there, mixing with some almonds, some mild grapefruit, a little bit of zest perhaps. Malt wins the day although theres a nice bitter zing right at the back of the finish. Enjoyed this.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Rather plain and boring bitter, slight hoppiness, slight fruity flavour but not a lot going for it.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Decent amount of white head atop of a golden body. Fair smell of fruity hops. Rounded fruity taste including notes of grapefruits. Smooth bitter tail.Gravity, half, at The Steel City Beer Festival in Sheffield 2 Oct 10.
