Cask at Bankers Draft (JDW), Bedford, in ’Spoons BF ’09. Amber with a small white head. Spice car air freshener or hair oil malt aroma. Sweet spicy malt taste, pleasantly exotic. A little sourness like lemon zest. Sharp late bitterness. Very nice.

Nov 27, 2009 The Fleur-de-Lis, Banbury. Soft tawny amber ringed with lace. Wet hay and faint citrus aroma witha pinch of ginger. Riper, more flowery citrus beneath; tangerine, biscuit, some white grape, paper and cherry sherbet. Mineral softness, English silk. Flimsy but decent. I like Japan and I like Banks’s. Good balance. 14.

Nov 24, 2009 A Mes rate. Cask at Baker Street ’Sporks.
Clean copper with an oily film. Strong biscuity malt, very bready. Faint astringent feel. Slightly meaty and fatty. Spooned to death I’m afraid.

Nov 15, 2009 Handpulled cask at JDW Baker St. Amber with a loose bubbled off white head. A subtle. varied flavours but very underwhelming considering the hops promissed in the festival program. Watery!

Nov 9, 2009 Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Amber with white head. Served bitterly cold, but it transpired to be a thin, malty light, a touch herby and sweet. Really quite disappointing unfortunately. Very little impact.
