3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20Cask@Akkurat, Stockholm. Honeyish golden colour, small white creamy head. Aroma is honey, wood and some caramel wood. A bit hayish too as it warms up. Flavour is dry hayish hops with wooden hints. Aftertaste is sour fruits and grass. Easy-to-drink and not too bad.

Slightly generic easy drinking bitter - a mid orange-brown colour. Malty and a litte grassy but generally not a lot going on. OK

Tasted 19/4/2013 draught "The Anchor Inn", Beer, Dorset. Poured a clear golden amber with a few millimeters of white bubbly head that laced OK. Aroma of earthy malt. Taste of sweet malt followed by a mild bitterness. Light body. Short bitter finish. Quite nice, very drinkable.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
23 March 2013. Hand-pulled pint in the lovely and remote ’Butchers Arms’ in the sleepy hamlet of Sheepscombe, Gloucestershire.
Golden brown body with small but staying head of white bubbles.
No great smell, but more malts than hops in what aroma there was.
Malts also lead the flavours in the mouth, mildy caramel and semi-sweet with a fruity background (mixed berrys) and a semi-dry hop bitter finish. Not bad at all for a 3.6% ABV session beer and ideal when driving, as I was on this day.

Draught. Watery, weak aroma, and boring bittering. Nothing to write home about here.

Bottle: pours a clear golden/light tin with a thin white head small lacing very light visible carbonation. Aroma is syrup/honey, sweet malts, tastes a little but roasty, not much hop bite (could do with more. Taste doesn't really take off, very drinkable.

It produces a wild berry aroma, has a thin texture and lacks taste or a bitterness.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Handpull at The Bell (Cannon Street). Clear bright gold, small frothy head. Somewhat sweet aroma - honey, a bit of golden syrup, not much hopping or alcohol. Taste is more sweet tea than beer - again no alcohol. Slick, watery, still, incredibly quick to finish and completely slide off the palate. More nothing than bad ...
