36th CAMRA Cotswold beer festival (July 2012) in the lovely 15th century Tithe Barn: the setting for my tasting of this beer.

Gravity poured half-pint: I’ll try and be kind to this, but with so many flavoursome beers at the festival this Pale Ale paled into insignificance because of its bland and feeble character. It poured a light gold with a slight haze and a head of thin white foam.

The aroma was weak: grass and floral notes maybe.

The taste was also difficult to find: hints of hop and pale malts mixed in an old yeast container and washed out with too much water.

Body and mouth feel were light (to say the least): if it had been the first beer I’d sampled it might have been OK, but wasn’t and it wasn’t.
