2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Aug 07 Cask conditioned @ Humble Plumb, Soton. Malty bitter with light whiff of yeast and some fruity hops which turn a bit dusty towards the finish. OK but I wouldn’t really want more than one.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask conditioned at The Queens Head, Bakewell, Derbyshire. Amber with white head. The pumpclip says Amber Ale, however this is a pretty standard Best Bitter from the Marstons false Brewery stable. Nothing exciting but good enough 15 miles into a hike.
