3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask-conditioned at The Rising Sun, Frampton Cotterell, S Gloucs 12/7/08. Golden coloured with a slight white head. Sulphurous yeasty aroma, as mentioned by others, with a touch of fruity hops. Slightly sweet malt flavours accompanied by some flinty yet fruity hops and a long, dry finish. Unusual in a positive way.

On cask at The Congress, Longton. A golden colour with a thin head. Low carbonation, fruity start, unusual finish. I can’t make my mind up about this one. Not bad.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAR 8, 2010 Cask, Coventry 2010. Bright orange-gold with an airy white collar of froth. Fine musky citrus, freshly-rubbed US hop aroma with a puff of sulphur. Think I’m picking up Willamette, Cascade..Dry and lemony with soap, passion fruit, lychee, a good rasp of hop and husky malts. Clinging wafer and cashew afters. Just about my Beer of the Festival.
3.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cask at Merton Beer Festival July 7th, 8th 2006. Poured a hazy golden colour with a sulphury nose. I found this beer quite difficult to place It was a little rough around the edges and yet it was very likeable, if you broke it down into parts it actually was a bit messy, appearance not great, I didn’t like the sulphury nose much and yet as a whole it really came through rather well. The hoppiness which I also liked but struggled to compare may have been due to the Mount Hood hops I don’t know that these crop up that often but I think they certainly added a certain something. It had a nice level of bitterness. I would quite like to try some more of their beers pretty good for a new brewery.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask conditioned at Merton Summer Beer Festival 06. Hazed Gold with no head. Big farmy, sulpherous nose leads to a juicy fruity body. Dry hoppiness with a chalky palate to it, bitter and dry in a long finish. A beer of highs and lows, quite interesting.
