| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Oct 26, 2009 [500ml bottle-conditioned from Millets Farm Shop, Frilford, Oxfordshire] Amber, slight white head, moderate fizz. Bland, sweet, cardboardy malt with some biscuit and a little bitterness in the aftertaste. Would probably make a reasonable session ale in cask, but doesn’t really work in the bottle. c6 DJMonarch (6878), Northwich, Cheshire, England

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 11, 2009 Cask, Gravity at Banbury Beer Festival, Oxon, 08-05-09 Pours amber with thin white head. Aroma was a bit malty and plain. Taste was also malty but there was a hoppiness detected, not overly bitter or sweet even. Could have done with a little more hops. I sort of drank this and quickly forgot about it. A6 A4 F6 P3 Ov11 3.0 imdownthepub (5163), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 12, 2008 Cask conditioned at The Woolpack, Banbury Beer Fest ’08. Gold amber with white head. This didn’t clear until the Saturday of the festival, it is a light, thinnish beer with an underlying mushroomy, tea like flavour in a malty bitter. There is an orange tasting hop note on the finish, but the whole thing doesn’t quite feel like the complete article.
