Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

<i>Cask Conditioned at The Angel & Crown, London</i>Hazy golden color. Light aroma, hoppy, a bit citrusy and grassy. Malt flavor; the mouthfeel is dry, also because of the very strong bitterness; the hops are a bit citrusy and resiny and grassy. Pleasant, even if not very complex.
14th September 2007 Warning! Early amateur rating! On tap at the Sun Inn, Kelvedon. Reminds of Oakham JHB - fruity and zesty. Light palate. Not that bitter. Nice.
Cloudy golden with a small white head. Clean aroma of peach and citrus. Dry and grassy hop flavour.
