From cask at Crystal Palace. Pours clear and golden orange with a dense and slight off-white head. Aroma is mild fruity to a clean and crisp malt note. Flavour is light spiced to the malty flavours. Light bitter and somewhat floral fruity into the finish. Decent to good.

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.

A Mes rate: cask at a JDW somewhere.
Clean golden brown with a thin white head. Slightly sweet malty nose with some faint estery notes. Dusty malt flavour with a fruity bite on the finish and a very faint lick of bitterness. Typically bland and unimaginative offering from GK.
