As others have mentioned, this was indeed the end of the barrel, and it showed. Golden colour, with a thick rocky head. The aroma wasn’t too clean. Hough I detected some honey note sin there. Dry and thin, with a grainy malt character on the palate and some very listless hops trying to make an impression, but failing. Overall, oh so tired if not entirely undrinkable. I’m sure it can be better than this

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Apr 12, 2007 Cask at GBBF 2006. A hazy pale orange beer with a bubbly thin off white head. The aroma is quite light with notes of malt and hops - too light for my liking. The flavor is sweet malty with quite strong notes of citrus, leading to a dry bitter end, but the body is thin. A thin but quite refreshing beer. kook (2034), Perth, Western Australia, Australia

| 1.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 2/20 | Aug 9, 2006 Cask conditioned – handpump – GBBF. Oh shit. This was the rancid one you tend to find at a lot of festivals. Just plain awful in most departments. The golden colour is the best thing about it amidst a drain-like aroma and taste. No doubt nearing the bottom of the barrel but that shouldn’t be an excuse. Just awful, and plain rancid.
