| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 29, 2009 Cask conditioned at The Rake, Borough Market, London. Amber to copper with white head. This was very nice indeed, hoppy, fresh, tangy with a nice bready malt note. lasting on the tongue, but my lasting memory is strolling through the market behind Tom looking for a cage of beer, which turned out to be Utobeer, taking delicious gulps of this. You are going to have to work on that accent my friend. hughie (3059), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England

Cask gravity at The Chequers, Little Gransden, Cambridgeshire, home of the Son of Sid Brewery, in 1st Chequers Beer Festival ’09. Gold with a small white head. Floral hop aroma with a hint of ripe pineapple. Sweet malty taste with a sharp bitter finish. harrisoni (6798), Ashford, Kent, England
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 19, 2009 Cask handpull at The Rake. Another awesome beer form Dark Star. Some lager malts which are soft and stupidly drinkable in the mouth with some subtle hop flavours on the finish. I will try to get this again as I think I may rate this even higher. It’s just how drinkable it is with the interesting flavours in it making you want to drink it again. MesandSim (5851), London, Greater London, England
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 19, 2009 A Mes rate. Cask at The Rake. Clean gold with a thin off white head. Slight ethanol and generally American style hoppy aroma. Similar flavour with a hint of German malt. Nothing much ’Oktoberfest’ about it but it’s well balanced and very drinkable. ladnewton (230), London, Greater London, England
