Commercial Description:
Cask; Occasional - most recently March & April 2007.
NOTE: Only ratings of the cask version should be entered here - the bottled version has a separate listing.
A tempting aroma of biscuity malt, floral hops, vanilla and toffee, with hints of citrus fruit. A very refreshing, drinkable and well balanced India Pale Ale.

Cask at ’Spoons, Milton Keynes. Amber gold with a white head. Hoppy aroma. Malty taste, quite sweet, and a bitter finish. Used to like this in bottles. This was fair but didn’t make a huge impression.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Boat Inn Stoke Bruerne. A copper coloured beer with some white head. The aroma is pretty non-descript and thin. The taste is hoppy and has warming qualities. Quite malty also. A decent beer.

Cask at the Boat Inn, Stoke Breune, Northants. Poured a fairly standard amber colour, aroma little bit sweet with some malt. Taste was very pleasant with malts backed up by caramel flavours and quite fruity as well.

Thin white head; light orange body. No aroma. Sweetish soft apple and tea taste with delicately bitter aftertaste. Lovely session beer, but could have more taste and complexity. (0.5pt on cask.)

Aroma gives not very much at all, some kind of grassy hops perhaps. Taste is similar caramel malts but everything is minimal. Another terribly disapointing appearance from these fellows. Not as much sulphur as im used too i suppose.
