Interesting there is an 11 point difference between 4 judges.
Odd to see cloves mentioned?
I think the difference is because the judges came from different backgrounds. Some were beer judges, some were beer writers, some were CAMRA chairs, there were professional brewers from well-known breweries, there was even a couple of representatives from the parliamentary beer club or some such!
Yeah, Iām not sure that fourth judge wanted to be there
Definitely the parliamentary ones, never want to make a positive devision.

| 132 | 8 | 6 | 14 | 7 | 35 | Could do with more body for the style Good roast and malt flavours |
| 132 | 8 | 7 | 16 | 9 | 40 | Nice looking beer but lacking much in aroma Slight acidity but a good long aftertaste |
| 132 | 9 | 6 | 14 | 7 | 36 | Lovely looking beer The aroma is a little light as is the body and flavour Refreshing and pleasant but a bit more malt would boost these characteristics and make it sing |
| 132 | 8 | 7 | 16 | 7 | 38 | Nice, upfront, fresh and fruity flavour Could do with a little more body and length |
| 132 | 9 | 6 | 14 | 6 | 35 | Chocolaty aroma, sweet rather than coffee Flavoursome initial sip but dropped off quickly Arguably needs more flavours but a drinkable beer |

As you can see from the score sheets this one was re-categorised by the judging panel into Thank Brew Pale Ale.
Surprised as it was 4.7% ABV, but it is a pale ale brewed with classic British hops and interesting that entries are not dismissed if they are judged to be of merit but fit a different category.

| 123 | 7 | 7 | 13 | 7 | 34 | Nice beer, easy drinking, could do with a longer aftertaste. Disappears a little too quickly |
