| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 9, 2008 Cask at ’Spoons, Milton Keynes. Gold. Fairly indeterminate aroma, possibly hoppy, but it was rather too well chilled and I couldn’t hand around to see what developed as I only had 15 minutes on the parking meter. Refreshing fruitiness in the taste, quite summery, with some biscuit. Slight sourness and a little flinty bitterness. Decent enough quencher. Magicdave6 (5520), London, Greater London, England

Golden coloured with a slight, white head. Grainy, yeast and dry fruit aroma. Flavour was tart, like dry cider without the apples, giving rise to strangeness all round.

I was quite taken with this and had a couple of pints. Reddish brown in colour with some really nice malt fruit flavours going on, a bit of raspberry and strawberry with a hint of caramel. Finish had some hops to balance. Very nice
