2.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Oh WOOF! That is a tasty aroma. Tickly hops with underlying honey notes. Much fewer hops in the actual flavour and a lot more cereal and sweet malt. Lovely finish though, very light and cereally with a hazy mouthful of crispness. Great aroma but it lets itself down a little when backing it up in the mouth. Still, this is a crisp and tasty beer which I would never say no to.

Reasonable session bitter, but a bit too yeasty and bready. Pleasant dry finish but an uninspiring bitter.

Cask @ The Queens Arms. Pale golden color with a small white head. Light yeasty nose. Faint white grape. Some straw, spun sugar. The taste is yeasty, slightly cheesy. I don’t think this is in good condition. Slightly acidic. Some lemon. Light white bread. Light body, soft carbonation. Not great.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Pours clear gold with a tight foam head. Faint, sweet dough aroma. Medium sweet flavor with creamy malts and some leaves. Medium bodied with fine, smooth carbonation. Sweet finish with some toasty sugar, faint caramel and leafy bitterness. Uninspiring - could be in poor shape.

Cask conditioned at Fleetwood Beer Fest ’12. Pale gold with white head. Quite a light, easy drinking beer, fruity, malty, not as sharp as expected, but som orange zest hints. Decent enough.
