| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Apr 21, 2009 Cask at The Exchange, JDW, Banbury, Oxon, 20-04-09 Pours light amber with a slim white head. Aroma has a touch of citric but also possibly showing signs of being a little past its best. To be fair this looks a good beer, but the taste confirms my suspicions, it’s quite tired the citrus bite has all but gone, bitterness is more staleness, not great, couldn’t finish though I see others drinking it, will look for and try again to re-rate when the opportunity arises.

I am finding the Brewers Gold hop to be very tasty, it is quite a light bitter, but with plenty of bite, citrusy, hoppy and dry and in really good condition. Very good. cgarvieuk (4214), Edinburgh, Scotland

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 15, 2009 Cask in the wenlock arms. Alround rating: Sweet pale malts, peachy fruity character, nice and balanced. Tasty stuff. From speaking to the cellarman this was a bit of an experimentla brew and he wanted feedback and we agreed that it needed just a bit more brewers gold hops to make it excellent. But at the moment still a find drink.
