3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask at the Happy Man, Englefield Green - 17/08/12.
Clear golden with a minimal white head.
Hops, citrus and grass on the nose.
Sweet malt, grass, earhty hop tones in the taste, quite farmy.
Lightish body, fairly wet, but worked well for this beer resulting in a refreshing crisp finish.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask (Bell & Crown, Canterbury)
Slight tea aroma, later a bit acetic. Looks abit thin. Watery palate, slightly sulfery taste, otherwise a dull bitter. Slight acetic in taste too. A touch of citrus can’t overcome the acetic component. OK milky grains, but minerally. Clearly not at its best.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Cask at the Claret. It pours pale golden yellow, with a thin foamy white head. The nose is cheddar cheese, hints of sulphur and some grass. The taste is lemony soap, zesty, grass, touch of pepper and leaf, with a very dry finish. Thinnish body and soft carbonation. Very so-so.

Draught at Seven Stars, Bristol, part of their Kent ale festival. Golden ale, fairly bitter with citrus flavours
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask: golden to deep golden, small white head with a good lacework; herbal to peppery hoppy nose, also a bit leafy with traces of vegetables and grapefuits; dryish bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied; lingering dry grapefruity and hoppy finish. A bit thin , but all in all quite good…

Cask. Deep golden colour with a small white fluffy head. Aroma is citrus fruits, some slight floral and grassy notes with also some crisp maltyness. Flavour is sweet and quite crispy malts along with some mild fruity and floral notes. Mild wooden and resiny notes as well when the beers warms up a bit.
3.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On cask at The Native Oyster Company, Whitstable. Lots of citrus. someone else commented that its not unlike Jaipur and I have to agree with that. Its not very heavy and went well with food.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sweet and floral hop aroma with hints of butterscotch. The taste is made up of malt and hops (citrus and grass), but very watery, with a slight dry bitterness. Nice and easy to drink but a bit too thin in the body. A beer suitable to be consumed ice cold on a hot summer day!

Nose is mellow hops, sweet earthy notes, milk, feel is medium, carb is low, taste is stale apple, dry hops, little sour aftertaste
