Feb 14, 2006 Cask @ Golden Lion, Dover. 4 February, 2006
Very bland. Made not to harm and very boring. Nothing technically wrong but just dull.

Jan 24, 2006 Aroma is balanced and maybe a bit minimal, but only goodness going on. Taste is very sessionable balanced goodness.

Oct 27, 2005 Updated: Feb 8, 2006Who will know that I would like a beer like a BItter?. Well, before it got all settled, I tried and was a little really bitter, but after it was refreshing, and cold enough for being a good one.

Aug 12, 2005 A really nice bitter. I have some very happy memories of this stuff.
My personal experience is that the bottles taste a lot better than cask.
Great shame that it’s been made virtually extinct by Theakston’s Cool Cask which is a very average ale. I can’t find the bottles on anymore anymore :( and only know one pub with it on tap.
I guess it’s not so popular because of it’s low alcohol content. Sometimes it’s good just to have a great tasting beer. It doesn’t have to always be about getting drunk quick. Too often breweries are replacing great light beers with super strength crap.

Jul 13, 2005 [Cask at GBBF 2004] An orange beer with white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of honey, while the flavor is fruity combined with honey and a bitter end, but the body is thin.

Jul 10, 2005 Nitrokegged in the Waterhead hotel, Ambleside. If it had any beerlike aroma it was masked by the nitro and the cold serving temperature. Flavour inoffensive, but I should have gone for wine.
