3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Stirchley Wines, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark amber with a thin white bubbly head. The aroma is big and malty. The flavour is medium bitter, malty and rather hoppy on the palate. It’s a typical English bitter with a hoppy, slightly spicy bitter edge. Very drinkable.

Blah. Not bad tasting but true blandness. Something on the aroma but nothing on the taste, waste of water. Dark yellow light head.

Amber, thin white head; aroma of hops, freshness and fruit; clean, fruity, quenching, hoppy; good, dry hoppy bitter finish; a classic session bitter which satisfied the one important criteria: I really, really wanted another.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
[Cask at Derehams Inn, High Wycombe] Amber with a slight white head and a slight fizz. Sweet caramel at first, then some orange and lemon before a kick of floral and citrus hops leaves a lingering bitterness. Decent beer, great mouthfeel & flavour considering the low ABV.

Cask @ The White Horse on Parsons Green. Deep ruby color with a medium off-white head. The nose is caramel, some light grass and shoe polish. The taste is more caramel, toasted brown bread. Certainly a bit twiggy, long spicy hop finish. Dry. Medium body, soft carbonation. This plays is very straight as a bitter. Fine. Nothing more.
