Greene King Bonkers Conkers

Cask at JDW, Heathrow, Term 4. Slight amber with no head. Sour nose. Sour taste and quite watery texture. Didn’t finish it. I wonder if I got a bad batch reading the other ratings...

Draught. Clear brown with some head. Little aroma. Medium body and carbonation. Tangy spicy foretaste with reasonable bitter aftertaste perhaps a little harsh. Nice beer.

[Cask at Oakford Social Club, Reading] Pours amber with a small white head. Smells of sweet malt. Initial flavour of sickly sweet peardrops with just a hint of autumn leaves. Finishes with earth and a hint of bitterness that completely fails to balance the sweetness. Weird… and pretty repulsive.

Cask Handpump at the Port ’N’ Ale, Tipton 20/09/2008 Some malt aroma. Golden amber coloured and smooth on the palate with a little bitterness in a slightly fruity full malt finish.

Golden with a small white head. Aroma of grassy hops, caramel and butter. Sweet malty flavour with grassy hops and anice bitter finish

Copper color with a thin head and nice lace. Plain Bitter, medium-low bitterness, and a quite disturbing metallic flavor and final. Poor.

Some caramel flavor with light residual sweetness, light paper aroma, correct bitterness, lightly metallic finish. Too simple.

Cask at The Grid Inn, Southfields during "Spoons Fest in a Day" crawl, 2nd Nov 08. Clear amber with a lively, lacy head. Light & drinkable palate. Quite nutty malt taste. You can tell it is a GK beer. Ok, but not inspiring.
