3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask handpull without sparkler, The Felix (JDW), Nuneaton, 05/03/13. Red gold under a slim haloed top. Good fresh mown grass and tangerine aroma. Succulent deep malt sweetness suggesting honeyed crackers overlaid with sappy, thistle-like, floral and orange peel-like hop. Grassy, honeyed and citrus-hinting to the point of (German/Czech) lagerdom. Tasty.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught (Tivoli, Cambridge)
Fresh hoppy bitter aroma. Thinnish palate, but only as you’ld expect from a bitter. Bitter resiny palate - classic UK hops. Some fruity retronasals. A little phenolic and wooly finish. Nice bitter, but unexciting.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask at Hamilton Hall, JDW, London. Pours perfectly clear yellow with a small, white foam head. Tangy citric aroma. Light sweet flavour with rather unpleasant citric astringency, some tangy rotten lemon. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Some white bread in the finish, a but of dirty hay, some further tangy citrus notes, though less intense, thankfully. Overall I would say this is a mediocre beer in sub-par condition.
