3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20

No carbonation but nevertheless a lively and pleasant drink. A bit expensive though.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
500ml bottle from Paxton & Whitfield in Bath. Bottle conditioned. Warm copper pour with a cap of white. Floral aroma, hard candy. Dried fruit, pears, a full soft flavor. A gentle bitterness lingering around the edges. A lively and interesting beer. Feels like it captures unusually well the delicate goodness of modest strength cask ale in bottled form. Also cool to see a cheese shop selling its own labeled ale, and recommending it (justly) as a wonderful cheese companion.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle conditioned, 500ml. Golden brown with white bubbly head. Fresh hoppy aroma with a touch of yeast and hay. Dry light bitter, fresh and grassy with plenty of hops on the tongue. Long and bitter finish, a very decent beer.
