Sep 24, 2007 Updated: Jul 16, 2009Rating is maximum of the two, one was tired, the other was as the brewer intended it.
Cask (Charters, Peterborough)
Slightly watery. Pleasant bitterness and malt, but nothing special. (5:2:6:3:12=2.8)
Rerate: (Kuikka, Helsinki) (7:3-:7-:4:13=3.4--)
Very pale yellow, healthy tight head. Served cold. Beautifully sweet fruity aromatic hops on the nose, and a touch of ginger too. Aroma mirrored in the taste - a simple malty base with a decent crisp and fruity bitter zing. Finish continues with the bitterness - quite a tingly finish. Good golden ale, but still just a golden ale.

Jun 23, 2007 A magnificent pale ale. I have no idea what the last reviewer was drinking but it certainly wasn’t Bishops Farewell. This ale is wonderfully aromatic using a huge dose of Mount Hood and Challenger for bittering. The taste is citrus and the finish is sharp and very refreshing.
