3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask (gravity dispense) at London Drinker Beer Festival (Friday session), March 2006. An unashamedly traditional, copper coloured, English style bitter with dry malt and earthy UK hops in evidence. A bit more body than many "ordinary" bitters but a touch less than many "bests". Nothing that really stands out but a solid bread and butter bitter..

(Cask at Market Porter, Borough, London, 1 Aug) Colour is amber with foamy head. Nose is malty and nutty. Taste is fruity, nutty with a nice hoppy bitterness in the finish. Citrussy and slightly earthy hop character. Dry, but rather short finish. Not really complex, but nice enough.

Cask Stillage at the Memorial Hall, Northwich 21/09/2001

2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Sampled cask conditioned at Nynäshamn Real Ale Festival, Sweden.
Pale amber. Sulphury and ashy. Medium- to light body. The nice malt flavour is overshadowed by by the ashyness that lingers on all the way to the finish.
