Oct. 2016: Cask 1/3 pint, gravity dispense, at the 16th Twickenham Beer & Cider Festival. Deep golden colour. Malty aroma and flavour, notes of toffee, less hops than expected.

A 500ml clear glass bottle with a BB of Aug 2013. Picked up last year as part of the Sainsbury's Beer Hunt and stored in my garage.
Poured into a straight pint glass. A clear golden-amber colour with faint sediment and good carbonation. Forms a large head of creamy white foam that lasts for a few minutes before subsiding. Aroma of mild caramel malt with hints of fruity ale yeast, grass/hay and stewed leaves. Uninspired.
Tastes of mild caramel malt with a dry finish. Notes of fruity ale yeast and stewed leaves. Highly attenuated and rather harsh, with hints of cardboard in the background. A restrained bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth, dry and tingly, with decent carbonation and reasonable body. Rather astringent, with an aftertaste of acrid stewed leaves and faint yeast esters.
Meh - a lacklustre non-event. Looks alright, but the aroma and flavour are dull and bland. Body is OK. Nothing special; another pale ale that seems to have been created in pursuit of a market section rather than as a quality beer. I'm never sure how some of the Beer Hunt candidates make the selection. At any rate, no great shakes. Give it a miss.

Clear 500ml bottle: best before Sept 2013, poured into an 'Old Speckled Hen' badged vase shaped pint glass on 10th Oct 2012 @ home.
Golden blonde body with a full, deep creamy head of off-white foam topping it off nicely.
The nose is a blend of hop notes: floral and fruity with sweeter biscuity malts also playing a part in the aromas.
The taste is again a mix of flavours: initially semi-sweet then a hop dry and bitterness asserts its self somewhat and that carries on into the aftertaste.
Refreshing more than interesting: a hoppy, middle of the road Pale Ale that flatters to decieve: not as exotic as the front label implies anyway!
Might be good with a curry: didn't match with my soft cheese (Light Philadelphia with garlic and herbs) and salted biscuits too well.
