| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 13, 2007 Bottle, 500ml. Copper colour with a small head. A floral aroma with some light fruit. Aroma is muted with pasteurised notes - rather like a Greene King brew. Taste is fairly malty with cocoa notes and floral hops with caramel. A fair amount of bitterness in the finish. Not actually too bad, but not particularly unique. Stopherbomber (111), London, England
