Gravity. Cask. Clear brown with no head. Sweet scent with lots of lemon in it. Watery. Quite sweet. Chlorinated water in the mouth. Flat with no particular taste. Didn’t like this.

Bottle. Amber brown with a white head. Aromas are weetabix malts with tea. Hoppy and dry with coriander. Flavours are dry and peppery hops with sweet biscuit malts. Light citrus fruit with yeast. Decent.

bottle from Darts Farm. Cloudy brown colour, large beige head. Aroma of banana. Spicy, lots of banana flavours with some caramel and chocolate. Sharp, spicy and aromatic hoppy finish. Strongly reminds me of a good German Dunkelweizen.

Aroma is toffee and caramalt, grassy hops but as it moves on citrus comes through also. Taste is similar with again the citru coming out towars the end, could do with more citrus.

Boring, not big deal, the foam is very bubbling, but too bitter, as its name says. But it was like a strong tea.

A fruity, copper coloured best bitter. Has a general bittersweet feel. Not too exciting, but perfectly decent. Cask, Battersea Beer Festival, February 2005.

Cask at Battersea Beer Festival 2005 (Thursday). Amber coloured. Sticky, buttery aroma. Spirity fruit and the flavours of freshly buttered bread.
