2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Gravity poured pint on 20 Apr 2013 at the CAMRA AGM bar in Norwich.
Light brown body with a copper hint in a strong light source, the head was a weak, thin affair from the off.
No strong aroma, faint traces of citrus and wood as the beer warmed.
The taste more floral than the nose suggested: mildly dry in the mouth with a semi-dry finish.
A long way from interesting, but an OK refreshing brew that isn’t going to upset anyone or test your taste buds.

Not the most exciting aroma, but an appealing deep copper appearance. Slightly more lively carbonation than expected but ends up feeling rather thin. I drink it at the Lendal Cellars in York but more because it’s a change rather than because I think it is especially good. Pretty average overall - brewed in a good cause though (for the Norfolk Wildlife Trust).

Cask at the Champion of the Thames, Cambridge, UK on 11th May 2012. Copper with thin off-white ring and film & patterned lacing. Sweet malty aroma. Malty and fruity with some late hops in-mouth, leaving a tangy and herby finish. Zingy mouthfeel and medium body. Nice "growing" ale - you can just end up liking it.

Average well blanced bitter, some creal or grain tastes along with biscuit and malt, not bad
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tasted this bitter in the Salt Cot, Saltcoats (JDW) in November 2010. Cask, handpump dispense. Crystal clear copper in colour with a thick white head. Slight hint of bramley apples with a touch of nutmeg. Thin mouthfeel and excellent lacing. Pale malts lead to a robust malty flavour with citrus notes of grapefruit and lime. Spicy almost peppery hops appear in the dry aftertaste. Good combination of malt and hops gives a balanced bitter sweet finish. An excellent sesion ale.

Bottle. Bronze beer with a strong white head. The aroma is hopped and toffee, and the flavour is watery bitter with a long gentle toffee roasted finish. Overall a reasonable English bitter.
