3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask at 1874 Northwich Beer Festival 2013. Milky, dry and bitter, a bit weird tasting but nice

Golden with a small head and quite smooth in its texture. Has a dry tropical fruit character.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask at the lyric Soho. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The nose is bread, toasted seeds, earth and light spice. The taste is oily, wood, earth, some astringency, light bitterness and wet leaf with a lingering bitter finish. Medium body and low carbonation. Rather odd tasting (weird astringency), can’t say I like the flavour....
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask by handpump at Hengler’s Circus, Glasgow - clear golden amber, thin foamy off-white head, weak fruity aroma, good lacing, sweet malty, bit of fruit, refreshing, short sweet aftertaste
2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
First pull from cask at Cask Pub & Kitchen London. Nose is similar to sour banana yogurt: definitely lactic. Light amber color with a pencil-line of bright white head. Balanced mouthfeel, washes evenly across palate with mild banana esters. This beer could be summer up with one word: "tangy".

Cask at the junction, Southampton
light amber brown with fruity yeast nose. Sweet toffee caramalt and shortbread pale malt. Lacking the hop bitterness/aroma to balance. Dull
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Tasted this in The Last Post, Paisley (JDW) in November 2010. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear pale orange amber in colour with a thin white head. Slight hint of lemon grass present in the short aroma. Thin resiny mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give a tart grapefruit peel flavour. Dusty bitter hops give a dry resiny aftertaste which is long in intensity. Finish is very sharp with citric grapefruit notes present. An ok session bitter but nothing exceptional.

Cask (handpump) @ GBBF 2010, Great British Beer Festival, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London, England.
Clear medium orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted - caramel, vomit notes, light to moderate hoppy, orange - citrus, fruity. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20100804]
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Copper colour, lasting beige head. It’s a fruity full bitter with some fruit salad and some hop bite on finish. It could be good but not sure this is quite right. It’s good, but I can’t tell you why.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
@ Griffin, Frome. Light amber colour. Earthy, mushroomy aroma. Earthy palate with some berryish hop notes, balanced by slightly sweet, slightly nutty malts (probably a heritage variety). Excellent.
