3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pint at the Old Manor in Bracknell. Creamy head, amber/red colour. Floral hops, bitter and with a slightly sour finish. Woody aroma, with some sweetness. A little more complex than the average ale. Hop aftertaste is a bit dry and overdone. Quite good.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On cask at Nerax North
Pours a deep amber color with a small bubbly white head. Smells of bready and toffee back up with earthy hops. Taste follow the aroma fairly well. Medium to thin body with a light level of carbonation and a slick mouthfeel. I really expected something called Autumn Valley flower to be a bit more interesting maybe even floral. Drinkable, but frankly unremarkable.

Pint at JDW, dark reddish copper colour, clear. Flowery hoppy smell. Tasted lots of roasted malts. Normal mouthfull. Decent beer but they over did the bitterness slightly.

[Cask at the Falcon (JDW), High Wycombe] Amber, moderate white head. Floral with a light bitterness and some malt to finish. Pleasantly refreshing, and a little bit different. But only a little bit.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask at The Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Pours clear, dark gold with a tight, creamy, off-white head. Sugary malt aroma. Candy, sugar, frosting, cakey bread and faint hay flavor. Light bodied with fine, smooth carbonation. Slightly sticky finish, light toffee, something akin to butterscotch maybe, faint toast, very light bitterness. Easy to drink stuff right here.

Cask at jdw. Shocking beer. Faint aroma. Watery, flavorless, yellow liquid. Wouldn’t drink this again. Not repulsive is the best I can say for this

On cask at the JDW Festival, Foot of the Walk. Pours a red - orange colour with a fair white head. Aroma of caramel, barley and yeast. Nutty flavour with alcohol, caramel and yeast notes. A little thin and mildly bitter. Just OK.
