imdownthepub (7461) - Banbury, - SEP 4, 2007
Cask conditioned at Harbury Beer Fest ’07. Copper coloured, slight head, hazed. Rich malty beer with a hint of cider about it, a little eggy, sulphery and a bit quick on the finish where I expected a bitterness. It’s ok.

Deep amber colour with a good head, fruity aroma, bitter fruity taste, much better than the Big Lamp Bitter.

chriso (7063) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - SEP 11, 2004
Attractive rich copper colour. Clean, clear aroma, with a touch of malt and some hops. Mildly fruity flavour. Dry finish with some bitterness. Quite pleasant and easy drinking, but punches a bit below its weight for a 5.2% beer. Cask at GBBF 2004.

duff (5483) - St, Margarets, Greater London, ENGLAND - SEP 5, 2004
Cask@GBBF04’. Slightly buttery, some apples, edgy malt flavour, but the finish is dry and slightly bitter, not too bad i suppose, a little bit boring.

Hildigöltur (5107) - København, DENMARK - AUG 22, 2004
[Cask conditioned] A quite fruity bitter. Smooth mouthfeel. Apples in the aroma. Fruity flavour.

SilkTork (4736) - Rochester, Kent, United Kingdom, WALES - AUG 8, 2004
Pump - GBBF. It does exactly what it says on the tin. Decent premium bitter.
