| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Aug 11, 2009 Had at the Carpenter’s Arms in Windsor, England. Poured amber with a small white head. Soft, understated aroma of light sweet malt and a bit of toffee with almost no hop presence. Flavor follows; sweet, a bit of fruit and toffee, almost no hop bitterness to it. Body felt somewhat cloying and undercarbonated. Little flavor, not very refreshing, cloying body. Not impressed.

A welcome sight on a Christmas party night out, despite the high price. Pleasant pale ale, with Thwaites trademark aroma and sweet malty taste. Pretty refreshing, slightly dry finish, but a decent session strength ale. chriso (4796), London, Greater London, England
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 27, 2009 Cask (handpump) at the Ritz (JDW), Lincoln, April 2008. Golden in colour but more of a bitter than a golden ale. Tangy, slightly earthy hops and biscuity malt. Not exactly exciting but a pleasant enough supping pint.
