Amber ... light hop nose ... very dry and loads of hops ... bitter grapefruit ... huge drying bitterness.

Cask conditioned, gravity dispensed, at The George, Barford St. Michael, Oxon. Straw colour with white head. Squeezed the last one out of the firkin, so I’ll be gentle on this one. Lemony but thin beer, seemingly another lager cross over. Some apple, cidery notes with a light biscuity malt.

Cask 3 judges, old rating. Aroma is grassy and floural with hints of biscuity malts. Taste has far more caramel notes than biscuit, bitter finish.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 9/8/07. Chris O’s comments are spot on. A reasonable if undistinguished bitter with a decent balance of hops and malt but nothing to stand out. Ok.

Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pale golden with low bubblly head. Sharp aroma of acetone, heavy perfume and green apples. Harsh flavour of grass, rubber and paint with a short finish of green apples. Ugh...

A respectable enough best bitter, with a reasonable balance of malt and hops, but there’s not really anything that interesting going on here. Perfectly acceptable though. Cask (handpump), Lord Moon of the Mall (JDW), Whitehall.

Sampled cask conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm.
Deep golden. Fruity, soapy, appley arom. Bold and clean, sweet and rounded. Sticky, stale, intensely ashy finish. Completely without finesse and charm.
