| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 23, 2009 Plateaued, foamy head that leaves spotty, but chunky lace after each sip. Slight haze to a light gold color.
Earthy malt tones to the smell, some skunk; Light hop in the background.
Creamy body with a light spritz in the background. Good malt base. The swallow is a pleasant blend of pale malts and bittering hops which last a decent amount of time in the aftertaste. A good run-of-the-mill English Bitter.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 18, 2009 Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are malt, hops, citrus and fruits. Nice bitter finish. Doppelganger (1353), Dry County, Arkansas, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 21, 2006 Nice bright gold, short-lived cap of white. Dried apricots, spicy, a little bit of something sort of buttery.Tart fruity sweetness. Just a little vegital in the finish. This is just one a few bottles of this picked up from Hook Norton. Lots of variation between them. Some perfectly clean, others with significant oxidation. This bottle was somewhere in the middle flaw-wise, so probably a good representative sample. It’s really too bad: there is clearly a lack of quality control somewhere in the bottling process. Which in the case of Hook Norton, is not in their control. Maybe it should be. Picked up at the brewery, there is no reason for a brewer to sell their beer less than clean. Papsoe (15180), Frederiksberg, Denmark
