I bought this while on holiday in Northumbria. After getting excited about craft brewing, unfortunately this took me back 10 years to the wishy-washy ales that forced me over to lager.
The aroma, appearance and palate are all verging on bland. The one thing in this beer’s favour is that none of these mediocre qualities overpowered the others, so at least there was balance in the palate.

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask at the GBBF 2009. I had high hopes for this one since I like Workie Ticket a lot, but flavours were distinctly average. The aroma was a bit fruity but nothing much there either. Some fruit and hops were in the flavour but it was bland overall. A bit of a disappointment.

Handpulled cask at JDW Hatch End, Harrow. Light amber with a creamy white head. Full bodied with a fairly complex hop profile. Decent.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Amber with a dense creamy off-white head; fruity aroma; smooth and creamy texture, almost nitrokeg style but without the gas; dry and fruity with some apricot and orange; well-balanced bitterness but a rather sweet finish. Very pleasant.
