GarethYoung (1108), Glasgow, Scotland Jun 27, 2007 [Cask from The Three Judges] Talcumed Swim Caps and bicycle tyre repair kit, background notes of the syrup from tinned peaches. Light, on the watery side, dry. I’m unlikely to drink this ever again. I mark up the aroma slightly because it was bizarre enough to make the first couple of whiffs interesting. Magic_dave6 (3751), London, Greater London, England Feb 25, 2007 The only reason this gets any points was that it is from the judges and i feel bad otherwise. Aroma is sulphur and burnt rubber. Taste is sulphur with pale malts and banana skin or a very unripe green banana. Worst ale this year possibly ever. leaparsons (3906), Leicester, Leicestershire, England May 11, 2006 Cask, Leicester Fest 06. Bright gold with a bubbly head. Aromas are soft lemon and spices with butter, caramel and some vinegar. Floral hops. Flavours are soft, buttery and floral with mellow lemon. Some caramel. Typical of the style. Decent but dull. TheGrandMaster (1451), Auckland, New Zealand Mar 31, 2006 Pint pulled at JDW The Railway in Putney (London), a very clear golden straw with a thin white head. The aroma was malty with some hint of citrus hops. A good tangy mouthfeel, though the finish is quitye lagerish. The flavouring has bitter and sour hops with juicy malts. Difficult to make my mind up about this ale, on reflection nothing special. MrWalker (928), Stockholm, Sweden Feb 14, 2006 Cask @ The Eight Bells (JDW), Dover. 2 February, 2006 Served cloudy. no aroma. Slight plum taste. Yellow plums. Thin body. Virtually no taste or aftertaste.
