| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 18, 2009 Cask at the Hole In The Wall, Southsea, UK on 16th October 2009. Gold with offwhite head of foam giving some lacing. Stongly pungent aromatic and bitter. Pleasant hop touch with some citric notes (lemon mainly) and hoppy grassiness. Malt more evident in the finish. A very well-balanced, well-crafted ale. wheresthepath (544), Buckinghamshire, England
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 2, 2009 [500ml bottle from Tesco’s, Portsmouth] Pours amber-gold with a half-hearted white head and a fizzy appearance (fortunately the fizz was far milder in the mouth). Beautiful fresh aroma of lemon and sweet malts (reminded me of a more intense Adnams brew). Taste is a letdown in comparison - a touch of minerals at first, then bready, biscuity malts that sit uneasily beside the mild grapefruit in the finish. Quite bitter, but not overly so. Yet another APA that’s a bit of a let-down - I’m starting to think that perhaps I’m not overly fond of the style... c5 ChristianScheffel (4507), Odense, Denmark
