[3155-20100724] Cask. Mild leafy earth and cow aroma. Slightly hazy, amber orange body with a quick foamy white head. Bitter grainy lemon zest flavour has a long hop finish. Medium body. Nice enough, drinkable.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
2010-07-24. Crisp copper amber body with a small fast fading head. 3+ English ale aroma, malty with a bit hop hops, very light grassy hops. 6+ Flavour is similar, typical English ale profile with a malt base, but with a good amount of hop bitterness, particularly in the finish. Average alate, lightly carbonated. Enjoyable. Not my favorite, but I could session a few pints. Cask at Bankes Arms, Studland
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
It’s copper. It’s hoppy. It’s got grapefruit flavours and a bitter-dry finish. Not at all bad.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask at the Derby Summer Beer Festival 2009. For me this was the best of the night, though amongst some destictly average beers, that’s not saying much. The aroma is fresh with flowers and pine dominating. Lemon and floral flavours start with a long, long hoppy bitter finish. Very nice.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Guest cask at the Dartmouth Arms, London, England on 22nd June 2009. Pale amber coloured ale with small but lasting off-white shallow head that laces well. Herby hoppy aroma then intensely bitter kick which is enjoyed on a lively textured mouthfeel. Then a prolonged dry and very bitter finish. Excellent and worth seeking out. I have seen the beer in one other venue in the past 48 hours.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask, Kings Head, Carlisle. Must have been reintroduced. Really hoppy, fruity beer, with a sharp grapefruit tang. Chestnut brown colour, with a nice creamy thin head, due to sparkler. Bitterness lingers on the tongue and back of the throat and there’s quite a dryness. Good and refreshing, one to make you suck your cheeks in....!!

Cask Handpump at the Mill Hotel, Chester 17/04/2004
Golden coloured slightly rich and sweet on the palate with a fruit aroma. Some bitterness in a dry lasting finish.
