Cask-conditioned at the Cornish Beer Festival, The Star, Bath 16/07/09. Amber coloured with next to no head. Aroma of red fruit, a touch of caramel and some dusty hops. Relatively easy drinking given the ABV, with more fruit and sweetness, and an earthy, bitter finish. Good.

Cask. Golden, cloudy with a short head. Lovely floral hoppy scent. A bit thick and sticky in the mouth. Moderate bitterness, some sweetness on the end. Hint of carbonation. Grapefruit predominates. Lots of citrus hop at the start then a little malt. Very nice at first but looses its taste after a few sips.

500 mL bottle brought back from England by my wife. Poured a clear amber color with no head at all. The aroma was very malty and earthy. The flavor was fruity, with only a faint bitter finish. I’m not sure if the beer was flat, or just very softly carbonated, but it wasn’t that great.

Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Hazed amber with white head. Pretty basic bitter, however i think it was a little tired, there was a sharp yeastiness, old ale type flavour. Malty, fruity and a touch sweet.

UPDATED: SEP 4, 2007 Bottled. Pours clear gold to murky amber, depending how much yeast wriggles into the glass. Creamy suds and mouthfeel. Juicy hop fruitiness in the snout. Hoppily fruity and bitter, with an almost guezey fustiness. Earthy and sourish. Feels homemade, but pretty good.
