A Mes rate: Cask at the Gatehouse ’Sporks.Slightly hazy golden with a thin white head. Apple and wheat with slight hints of marzipan and fruit. Unexpected coffee on the finish. Far from special.

May 16, 2008 [cask from Back of Beyond, Reading] Interesting one this - a golden-coloured ale, initially floral with a hint of smoke. Then one of those dusty stable type of hops flavours. Slight hint of citrus and rather bitter in the aftertaste, but overall not bad.

Apr 13, 2008 The Briar Rose (JDW), Brum. Big mistake. Stinks of rust. Flaccid tired hops trying to be citrus. Pale buttery malts and METAL. Can’t be too unkind, because I’m sure it’s not meant to taste like this. Abysmal.

Apr 12, 2008 Cask at Bankers Draft (JDW), Bedford, in ’Spoons Real Ale Festival. Gold with a white head. Sweet malt aroma and tatse. Grainy rather oily taste with some citrus. Slight bitterness. Decent but unremarkable.

Apr 9, 2008 Cask in the counting house. Aroma is buttery pale malts, floural hop. Taste seems quite yeasty and fruity but again the bittery pale malt character isnt too hot.
