On cask @ the Haymarket Bar, Edinburgh. Light amber in colour with a decent head. The nose has a little bit of apple coming through against a malt background. The taste is similar - fairly basic bitter really but inoffensive. The palate is light to medium in body and texture and the finish is fairly clean. So so!

Bottle from a local supermarket. A beer I’ve had a number of times before, but first rating. For a 3.4% beer, it’s pretty good. A nice golden colour, with a fruity aroma and to me a slight hint of honey. Good overall, refreshing beer.

50 cl bottle @ Scandic hotel’s Sauna, Tampere. Rated on 31.12.2010
Aroma is somewhat fruity with hops and some hay. Flavour has fruits, some gooseberry bush, toffee, biscuits and hints of hay. Quite nice and fruity for this ABV.

Cask at The Vaults, Knowle, Solihull. Golden Brown Pour with a big white frothy head and surprisingly little lace. Malty slightly metallic aroma. There’s malt and caramel in the slightly sour flavour with a little liqourice in the aftertaste. Not much bitterness it has to be said, but a very decent refreshing ale, more suited to the summer months.

Deep and light dark golden colour with an off white head. Caramel malt aroma with some fruity notes. Rich mild caramel flavour with a pleasant bitterness. Moderate sweetness. Outstanding far an 3,4% beer.

Clear copper, decent but loose white head. Aroma is subtle sweet fruit. Light body, bright carbonation. pleasant tangy fruity start, moving to dark toffee malt and then some bitterness in finish. Overall a bit watery and not particularly interesting but quite quaffable.

On cask at the White Hart, Pirbright, Surrey on Xmas Day 2011 (badged as ’Jolly’). Light amber in colour with a thin head and little lacing as I began to drink. Slight citrus and some straw flavours in this beer, bitter with a more bitter aftertaste. Mouthfeel very average, a little thin. The kind of pint you’re happy to finish and move on to something different, that said not unpleasant to the extent I’d never have again, it would be low down the list though! Didn’t make me jolly!

50cl bottle, courtesy of my neighbors. Orangée, col épais beige. Arôme malté pâle sur une pointe de citronné houblonné restant dans ce bouquet très anglais. En bouche, malté; houblon léger, notes cara/grains sur pointe de levure, malt ambré/pâle, le tout restant léger sur un fin note grillé et un fini moyen amer.

Cask at Baxter’s Court, JDW, London. Pours rich gold with a creamy, off-white head. Woody malt nose with faint leaves. Nice flavor, decently balanced with toasty pale malts, some dry wood and dry, toasty grass bitters. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Crisp finish, moderately sweet with some nice, toasted bread, mild woody and lightly grassy bitterness. A solid bitter in general.
