Feb 11, 2008 Cask gravity at Battersea BF 08. Chestnut with lasting beige head. Looks in good nick. That’s alright. It’s a best bitter, decent berry fruit. It’s actually pretty good considering the 4 beers that went before. Mind you I did get bored with the English beers after this one and went onto the Germans.

Oct 10, 2004 This brewery emerged from the short lived Bristol Brewing Co and started brewing in August 2004. This may be a test brew. Unless the festival conditioning is to blame, my advice is to keep testing. Attractive deep copper colour. There was a big sulphur whiff initially in the aroma (but I noticed the same with a number of other beers at this festival), which overwhelmed anything else in the aroma. Much better on the palate. Dry and at the malty end of the bitter spectrum, with some hop presence, but the finish was a touch soft. Overall, mediocre. Cask (gravity dispense), St Albans Beer Festival.

May 27, 2007 Cambridge Fest Pleasant malty bitter with twiggy notes from the hops. and a touch of licorice and hint of coffee from the crystal malt. A well put together beer in nice condition. Lingering twang. Some fruit in the middle. Very drinkable.

Apr 29, 2007 Updated: Aug 12, 2007Pasteurised bottle. An ok bottled beer which was amber in colour and poured with a slight head. There was some malt in the aroma and the flavour was red fruit with some hops in the finish. The Bristol Beer Factory has improved over time.
