3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at The White Hart, Barnes - 18/2/11. Brown but with a hint of ruby in colour. Grassy nose with some flowers in there.Little honey in early taste giving way to hops as it finishes.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
True amber with a golden tint and a wispy white head. The nose is of grassy hops and rich marmalade with a hint of peaches and dough. In the mouth it’s a bitter-sweet balance, though overly watery; not much going on besides a little added ginger and some cellar dank. It’s thin bodied, oily and low in carbonation. Finishes on the malts and yeast and that’s that. Nothing special, nothing offensive.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask handpull at The New Wheatsheaf, Borough. Used to be one of my favourite and from Kent, a bit of a rarity apart from when coming to London. Mid brown colour. Lasting thin head. Its a decent bitter, little bit of watery ness in middle but some decent hop sting on finish. It’s an ok bitter. Good character on aroma, just lacks a bit of malt in mouth. Some biscuit develops.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Slightly spicy, hoppy bitter. Quite smooth with light bitterness, a decent beer but nothing ’special’ IMO.

From cask@The Blue Blazer, Edinburgh. A thin layer of foam covering a reddish, golden colored body. Predominant apple juice aroma. Biscuity malts and peppery hops in the background. Taste is more fruity than malty; red berries and apples supported by some lightly toasted and bready malts. Oily mouthfeel. Short, fruity, peppery and slight hoppy finish.
