Cletus (5002), Connecticut, USA May 3, 2009 Cask at the Ginger Man in Norwalk. Pours gold with a creamy white head and low carbonation. Smells earthy and floral with some appley hints. Tastes tepid, low in carbonation and dry with a nice appley bite on the finish. liinis (695), Helsinki, Finland Apr 23, 2009 Excellent rich pleasant fresh and nicely bitter. incredibly good! only minus is the flatness of the mouthfeel. (RA if I remember) MiP (8793), Sønderborg, Denmark Sep 10, 2008 Cask, 4.2%. OK fruity aroma. Hazy copper colour. No head. Moldy flavour, some fruit. Quite boring. FatPhil (3446), Espoo, Finland Aug 14, 2008 Cask (Angleterre, Helsinki)
Deep orange, almost no head. Sweet fruity aroma, estery. Quite full body, but a bit watery and flat. Reasonable back-of-the-mouth bitterness. Hint of mushroom. OK bitterness, but a tad dull. Magicdave6 (5400), London, Greater London, England Jun 5, 2008 Cask in the three judges. Aroma is nutty malts, pale malt and slight hibnts of sulphur. Taste is similar theres an iodinyness in here i dont like though. berkshirejohn (1767), Bracknell, Berkshire, England Apr 30, 2008 Cask at the Bridge Inn, Burton. Amber with a creamy head; aroma of stewed vegetables and manure, but not in a bad way; fruity with some honey flavour; short but strong bitter finish. albertane (376), Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England Mar 23, 2008 Cask at the Devonshire Arms, Burton upon Trent. This amber-coloured bitter has a very good balance between sweet malt and bitter hops which is perfectly tasty although not really a standout in any way. It strikes me as a textbook bitter which is pretty good. RPillsbury (112), Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England Mar 23, 2008 Cask at the Devonshire Arms, Burton-On-Trent. A nice aroma of citrus and hops. The flavour is a good balance of zesty lemon and hops with a lovely bitter finish. I did find it too thin, though.
