| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 27, 2009 Cask. At Volo 2009 English Cask event. Ratting #3900. Hazy orange pour, wispy little head. Light and dry aroma of orange zest, cereal grain and dry herbal/floral bitterness - appealing, and not at ALL sweet. Initially mild bitter grassy/herbal taste, it developed more bitterness - grassy, then crushed grapeseed sharpness, a hint of lemon tartness - dry grain and even a bit of alcohol - simple, refreshing - and not sweet at all. Slick, soft, slightly astringent mouthfeel, very cask-still, with a medium-long pungent floral finish - a solid, solid cask ale, well done Doug! Beer of the night for me and most everyone else - it sure ran out quick enough!!!
