| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 25, 2009 Cask at Trappeze. Poured clear copper, with a good amount of white foam. Aroma of caramel, light earthy hop, light sweet malt. Taste is lightly malty, with some sweetness, nice hop bitterness, and some earthy hop notes as well. Body was pretty moderate, with some nice cask carbonation. Overall, a decent bitter that’s not too over the top and very nice on tap. JaBier (1165), Capital City, Ohio, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 26, 2009 Clear copper pour with a medium off-white head. Good looking lace and average retention. Grainy/caramel malt sweetness and low hop aroma, a little diacetyl. Flavor has medium bitterness, moderate earthy hops, sweet malt at the beginning that leads to the hops and finishes dry. Medium body with medium-low carbonation. Good balance. Not much complexity. Decent beer. badwhale (51), Bitterville, Pennsylvania, USA
