KnutAlbert (2163), Oslo, Norway Dec 10, 2007 Cask, Wetherspoon’s, Hammersmith.
A fairly standard, and fairly boring, bitter. A bit sweet, a little bitterness in the finish, but it does not convince. imdownthepub (3995), Banbury, Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England Dec 1, 2007 Cask conditioned at The Woolpack, Banbury. Amber to copper with white head. This is quite an odd bitter, I found it very flowery and perfumed, almost like drinking marigolds (not the rubber gloves by the way). Sharp hops with a heavier fragrant malt. Quite unusual. Magic_dave6 (3642), London, Greater London, England Nov 27, 2007 Counting house. Aroma was quite minimal, nutty and grassy hints though. Taste is similar, a nutty lightly biscuioty malt with grassy and raw bittering hops. Mes_and_Sim (4176), London, Greater London, England Oct 6, 2007 A Mes rate: Cask at the awful Holborn JDW.
Nice clean amber brown with a slim white head. Decent malt hop balance in the aroma with slight tobacco. Nice malty flavour with some slight sweet fruit and a decent citric finish which eventually turns bitter. reakt (809), Greater London, England Oct 3, 2007 Cask @ JDW. Golden with a white head. Nose of hops, grapefruit and a bit of malt, taste is much the same. Decent palate but nothing exciting overall.
