| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 12, 2009 The Baron, Knickersby. Bright orange amber with a fine lacing slick. Grass and orange aroma with a sprinkle of urinal, some good herbal and honey tones as it warms. Surprising bite of hop bitterness, apple peel and tangerine fruit, nuts, bread, lime, detectable alcohol. Lingering malted milk and cashew aftertaste. Not the sludgy confection I was expecting, but something altogether more..focused, and full of fresh malt character. Clean and slightly beautiful. downender (2633), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England
