Cask at the Row Barge, Guildford. Poured a dark mahogany with a minimal frothy head, but lots of lace. A hint of maltiness in the aroma leading to a citrus peppery bitterness in the flavour. Quite an unusual beer and well worth tasting. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft at the Row Barge, Guildford. I liked this beer! In common with other Ascot ales, it has little carbonation. The head was short lived and that disappeared with any lingering lace. A hint of malt in the fruity aroma and a citrus overtones in the flavour which made quite a refreshing change. Many people from across the pond would turn their noses up at this flat warm beer, so it's good that there's quite a few of us on this side of the world that appreciate this style of ale! One for a session no doubt! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Cask at the Row Barge, Guildford. Frothy short lived head with little lacing. Slightly malty aroma leading a malty taste with a slight hint of caramel. Very smooth and just a touch of bitterness on the palate. Very low carbonation and like a typical English bitter, it should be served warm. A decent session ale but there's not much to set this beer apart from the crowd. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle at home on a sunny afternoon, 19th August 2012. Aroma is non descript, pours a nice light gold straw colour, palate is a little fizzy for my taste. Taste is very pleasant though, pineapple and peach comes though, you get the nice balanced hops and bitterness. A beer I would have again potentially

Copper colour. Has an aroma and flavour close to that of over boiled carrots. It’s quite sweet but lacks further depth of flavour.
