Cask, Criterion, Leicester. Golden brown with a white foam. Aromas are biscuit and weetabix with nutty notes and light lemon. Some burnt toffee with raisins. Flavours are dry black tea with sweet weetabix and some crisp lemon. Herbal notes with underlying toffee and a spixy, dry finish. Pretty good.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Malty character, certainly in aroma with some sweet bubble-gum thrown in. Dark golden in colour with a small head.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask conditioned at Far From the Madding Crowd, Oxford. Amber with white head. Quite a sweetish, light beer, malty, marmalade, orange type note. Not a particularly hoppy beer but reasonable enough.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask conditioned handpump Althorp Coaching Inn Great Brington 12/11/12. A brown beer with a whitish head and lace. This was insanely fruity. Sweet and jammy, both in the mouth and the nose. A bit false really but tasty in some places.
