2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pale gold colour. Slight indistinct aroma. Clean on the palate, but rather soft and short of grip. The flavours are not too well developed. Slightly grassy sharp edge on the finish. A bit soft for a bitter, but not crisp enough for a quaffer. OK but unexceptional. Short on character for a beer of this strength. Not one of RCH’s more distinguished efforts. Cask (handpump), Lord Moon of the Mall (JDW), Whitehall, London SW1.
