| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 19, 2007 Cask @ Liverpool St. Sporks. Pale amber with a thin white head. Bready malt and apple in the nose with some faint hop notes. Something else I couldn’t quite place also, maybe metal or yeast? Taste is much the same with the hops making an appearance in the end. OK but not fantastic. oteyj (796), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA

Hoppy nose with some malt to balance and some nice fruity goings on. Mouth is hoppy with some malt to give it quenchability and gulpability. And gulp I did, very enjoyable.
