Medium coarse offwhite head. Brown body. Faint malty sugary aroma. Delicate sweet-dry malty roasty wooden taste with resiny floral notes. Mild, smooth mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dry roasty caramelly aftertaste with dandelion floral notes. Nice, subtle, and drinkable. (0.33l cask at Akkurat, and at some Bishop’s Arms pub.)

(Cask at GBBF, London, 6 Aug 2008) Copper colour with brief, white head. Malty, fruity nose with apricots and earthy, dusty hops. Fruity taste with notes of apricots, orange and generous doses of earthy hops in a fairly bitter finish. Solid malt foundation. Fairly dry. Probably not the best beer in Britain, but still nice.

2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: NOV 18, 2003 Cask, Crown & Thistle, Gravesend. A wonderful pub - great range of real ales, and a humming atmosphere; well kept. This is a ginger amber coloured beer. Some lemon flavour. Earthy hops tending towards stale. Fruity finish. Some plum - but hops come in too early and dominate. Fragrant lemon up front, then the plum is introduced. Brown sugar and yeasty fruit aroma. Comes across as a poor attempt at a Summer Pale Ale. Probably near the end of the cask.

Cask @ The Harp, London. Caramel colored pour, medium bitterness, very well balanced between caramel malts & bitterness. running out of ways to describe beers that pretty much taste pretty similar.
