| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 22, 2009 Cask @ The Blue Flame in Nailsea. A hazy orange bitter with a small off-white head. Malty nose of caramel and floral hops that is not overpowering. Flavours of biscuity malts, subtle tangerine and delicious floral hops at the end. Creamy mouthfeel though quite light bodied. Extremely moreish and refreshing. Highly recommended. ladnewton (235), London, Greater London, England
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 20, 2009 Permanent cask at the Star, Highgate, London on 18/07/09. Amber colour with limited off-white head that dies halfway down the pint glass. Sweaty yeast on the nose. Moderate hoppiness is partly rivalled by caramelly malt. Quite a dry finish on a pleasant mouthfeel. Natural soft carbonation. The beer felt as though it was served a degree or two below design temperature. dy (1), Maidstone, Kent, England does not count | 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 27, 2009 Best drunk locally in Yorkshire where the flavour of the fresh ale is excellent aaronbr (58), Palo Alto, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 24, 2009 Got this one at a pub at the South end of the Blackfriars Bridge on the Thames in London. A cloudy pumpkin orange with a nice, clean aroma. Creamy on the mouth, like I’m coming to expect of cask ales. Very typical, good beer, with a nice bitterness on the finish. maltdog (517), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Jun 4, 2009 Cask ale @ the Black Friar. Deep orangey gold… a long cascade focuses into a cirrus head and phenomenal lace veil. Gentle aromas of lemon, musty hay, and sulfur. Subdued estery/buttery flavor with a grassy Golding twag. Light but smooth… I might even say a rich mouthfeel. Very restrained and "plain" all around. Did not live up to hype and expectations; I have to admit I struggled to enjoy it.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 1, 2009 Cask @ Bow Bar. Amber colour, white head. Aroma is hoppy and fruity. Flavour is hoppy, malty and fruity. Slightly bitter finish. Worth a rerate. evergreen0199 (275), London, Greater London, England
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 29, 2009 Cask at The Harp, London. This ale is always on top form at The Harp. Lingering bitterness and of course plenty of hops. Dangerously drinkable ale. JoeinUccle (911), Brussels, Belgium
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 1, 2009 Cask at the Gunmakers in Clerkenwell. Citrus nose like soft grapefruit carries through, adding zest to a moderately bitter backdrop. Incredibly quaffable and really hits the spot. Was unable to resist the urge to have several more in a row.
