| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 31, 2007 Cask, Gardener’s Arms, Oxford. Pale oange with a persistant layer of off-white, very dense and fine. Softly hoppy in a sweet spring field kind of way. A a touch of fresh yeast. Very soft malt sweetness, a bit of pear esters, lightest touch of bitterness in the finish. A bit of dried berry flavor edges in half-way through the pint. Subtle but good, in an unassuming, friendly way. DJMonarch (6878), Northwich, Cheshire, England

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 6, 2009 (Cask at Penderel’s Oak JDW, Holborn, London, 6 Aug 2009) Pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with dried fruit and dusty hops. Fruity, malty taste with notes of biscuity malt, apricots and dusty hops in the finish. Below medium body, sweetish.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 27, 2009 Cask handpull at The Pheasant, Ashford. Pulled through a tight sparkler, so hard to tell what this is like. It was fine, a solid enough bitter with a bit of dustiness to the hops and a little biscuit character to the malts. Drinkable with my lunch but did not excite me enough to have a second pint.
