3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask at The Cleveland Arms, London. Pours clear gold with a foamy, white head. Weak aroma, subtle straw and white sugar. Light sweet flavor, mild biscuits, faint bitterness of straw. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Fairly bland finish, light sweetness and even lighter bitterness. Still some hay, biscuits, crackers. Not offensive.

8th November 2010
Spoons festival! Very slightly hazy amber beer. Untidy off white head. Smooth low carbonation palate, a little dry. Minerally hop - bordering on metallic. Paradoxically the hop is quite tame. Some dry malt underneath. Finishes smooth. Bland and over tangy!
