3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hand pulled at the Pub, Leicester. Soft, slightly grassy, mushy feel and flavour. Not much of anything here - neither pleasant, nor unpleasant. Slight soap and faint hop. Like bathing with hop soap and then eating the sponge and rinsing your tongue with the water from the shower head. Or perhaps like putting a cushion down your trousers. A bit of a grower actually. Peachy aroma. So much text from such an innocuous beer - perhaps I am impressing my own personality into the glass. The beer thus ends up a reflection of the drinker and is liked or disliked as such. Scarlet Johannson perhaps.

On draught at the Newshouse, Nottingham. Biscuit base and citrusy American hops. Just what I like in a beer, and low in alcohol enough to be a session beer. Very good.

An absolutely fantastic ale, packed full of flavour, grapefruit, grape and citrus. Long finish, just a class above which I wasn’t expecting.

Cask at the Magpie & Crown, pale yellow with a big white fluffy head. Peppery and herby hops on the nose, then a crisp dry hoppy body, light malt body yet with notes of grape and melon. Very dry and hoppy finish with lasting grapefruit bitterness.

Nice new brewery, to me. It was refreshing this one and a little sweet, a little herbal too although not too bitter. At GBBF 2010.
