I can’t believe my previous rating - must have been in an incredibly negative mood or mis-typed. Anyway, this time, lovely chocolate biscuit note on the nose, which is almost as pronounced on the taste. Palate medium to rich for such a session strength beer and a clean finish. Overall, lovely bitter. Previous rating 14/03/12 7+3+5+2+7=2.4 50cl Bottle. It pours an amber ale with nice lace and good head retention. The nose is floral and sweet (perhaps honey), eventually giving way to gentle malt. The taste is of more honey and malt and with astringent bitterness on the finish. The palate is typical for a medium-bodied session ale but balanced all the same. Overall, this is a step up from the wishy-washy session ales of yester-year, but I really do prefer their other beers.

cask ... copper brown ... thin tan head ... toffee malt ... soft malt ... toffee fruits ... ligth bitter... quite tasty.

Cask @ 3 Judges. Amber colour, off-white head. Aroma is hoppy, with citrus. Flavour: citrus hops, fairly bitter with a malty backbone. Well drinkable.
