Taste is similar floural at times and perhaps not as peachy as i like them but still nice with a decent bitter finish. chriso (4851), London, Greater London, England
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 26, 2004 Amber colour. Malty aroma. Sweetish palate, with subtle fruit and some dry malt coming through late, together with a little bitterness. Low hop profile. Not very Christmassy, more like an autumnal best bitter. OK, but not that much happening. Cask (handpump), Lord Moon of the Mall (JDW), Whitehall, London.
