3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Medium very white lasting head. Paleish yellow body. Fruity bubblegum aroma with vanilla notes. Sweetish-dryish banana bubblegum taste. Soft, mild mouthfeel. Thinnish body. Dry wooden fruity aftertaste with metallic notes. Quite nice, but a bit artificial. (0.25l cask, The Carpenter’s Arms, Marble Arch, London.)

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask @ ’Sporks. Golden with a lasting white head. Malt nose with hints of apples, pears and various other fruits, some subtle floral hops also. Taste is much the same, next...
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Pale Gold with white head. Toffee caramel initially with a faint touch of peach. Then a developing citrusy note, but the beer was a touch off form. Reasonable.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask at The Penny Black, JDW, Bicester 29-12-07 Light amber in colour with a fruity nose. Taste was also citrusy and fruity, with a nice bite but sadly this beer suffered from being served just a bit to warm (it’s normally quite the opposite in JDW’s I find) It was also a little bit past it’s best.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask in counting house. Aroma is lager malts and sweetish hints. Taste is similar to be honest reminds me of a really well made can of miller pilsner!
