Golden ale with a malty toffee nose, but more caramel extracts in its taste.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
One-half pint, festival cask ale at JDWs Crosse Keys. Bubbly layer at the top of a near-clear, amber body. Spiced fruity nose. Lemony hops in flavour supported by mild spices. Dried fruit bitter sending. Ok, on par with the style (London, 05.11.2012).
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask at JDW. This emerges as a bright copper with a good head. Malty and surprisingly thick, this has some nice toffee flavours and hints of fruit around the edges, but doesn’t leave much of a lasting impression. It’s decent but just too staid.

Cask handpull, The Felix, Nuneaton, 17/11/12. Smear of chocolate and aniseed on digestive biscuit. Abrasive bitter linger. Mid-brown, slicked copper. Weak Allsorts and aniseed aroma. Not great.
