| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 13, 2007 Cask conditioned at Oxford beer fest ’07. Hazed dark amber with no head. Fruity slightly sweet bitter, with a fuller malt than expected. A little peachy in flavour and quite short on the finish. Fin (3460), Merton, Oxfordshire, England
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 12, 2007 Cask at Oxford beer Festival 11-10-07 Poured copper in colour, quite fruity, not as hoppy as one might expect, comes across as more of a decent fruity beer, nice juiciness, some malts to fall back on and a slow improver, not too bad but not sure this is an out and out IPA, to be honest if I hadn’t of checked it’s strength I would have been more likely to believe that this was a good honest session beer in the 4% category.
