Jukkabro (2307), Tampere, Finland Feb 19, 2008 Amber colored, little light brown head. Rich fruity aroma with mild pineapple, fruits and some chocolate. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor starts with lemon, turns to dry and crispy with hops. Finn (1044), Tromsø, Norway Feb 18, 2008 Cask at The Falcon - Clapham Junction 6 Feb 08.Served a bit too cold. Golden colored. No head. Aroma of sweet berries. Pleasant fruity flavor. Dry finish. No bitterness. SilkTork (3793), Rochester, Kent, England Feb 17, 2008 Far From the Madding Crowd Sticky sweet with an assertive hop soaked character. Decent enough, if a little serious. maeib (3816), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Feb 15, 2008 Cask conditioned - handpump - Far From The Madding Crowd, Oxford. An amber coloured beer with tons of diacetyl throughout. In addition to that there is some boozy fruit, and some sweet caramel and toffee. Boring and short but what do you expect? I believe Hughie is referring to me in his rating. hughie (2054), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Feb 10, 2008 Cask at Far from the Madding Crowd, Oxford, on Ratebeer Oxford Day ’08. Amber with a small white head. Faint malt aroma. Sweet pear fruit taste. Mid bitter finish. Found myself seated between two Ratebeerians, one of whom quite liked and admired Wychwood beers, while the other despised them and all they stood for. Such are the pleasures of a Ratebeer crawl.
