2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20Bottled. A mid brown coloured lifeless looking beer. The bottle appeared to have sprung a leak as it was not full, and the conditioning didn’t seem quite right. Having said that, it’s a malt accented bitter with fruity notes. Some ashy undertones. Drinkable.

Slightly hoppy in its aroma, not a lot of character elsewhere, but drinkable.

Liberty Bell Spoons. Clear amber beer. Small off white head. Light palate. Very mild fine carbonation. Tangy but mild lemon hops underpinned by mild malt. Dry finish. Not bad, goes down easy.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Hand-pulled pint in my local Spoon’s during the March 2012 Beerfestival. I have enjoyed all the beers I’ve had from Wolf and this was no exception.
Clean looking: chestnut red and almost bright in appearance: an off-white crown of creamy textured head sat on top.
The aroma was of mildly toasted malts sprinkled with some citrus esters, pleasant without being over-powering or heavy.
The taste was a fine blend of beery things: malty yet not sweet, hoppy yet not bitter or too citrusy. The alcohol was well concealled within the flavours: this is an easy drinking beer and a pleasure to sip.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Cask (Pint):
Some sweet malts and a faint touch of caramel along with some more earthly malts and possibly some dried fruits.
Amber to copper colours with a fairly small, foamy white head at the top of the beer.
Faint malts and caramel or perhaps toffee to begin with, but again like the smell the taste is also very weak and light. There is some bitter hops and malts with the bitterness staying around for a while.
Slightly chewy with a medium body and a very bitter finish that is slightly dry. Carbonation on this one is very low and as is normally the case with a cask ale, it taste a little flat with a sightly warm feel.
This one was like every other cask ale I can remember, the nose was fairly weak and light with the taste not much better. The feel was a slightly warm, flat one.
