COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Special - September 2011.
NOT to be confused with Genesis (1:ii)
In the beginning was the Wort … The First Brew – a chestnut coloured traditional best bitter. This brew will provide much technical information on the new brew kit so that we can finalise the details for the core range which we aim to have ready to launch for mid-September. Please let us know if the Wort was good!

Cask at Tap East, Stratford, London on 17th September 2011. Crystal clear copper with thin dying head. Malty, fruity aroma, some caramel. Liquid is smoky, grassy and slightly ashy with developing citric end. Herbiness continues in finish, on light textured full bodied mouthfeel.

Scopey (1659) - Croydon, Greater London, ENGLAND - SEP 27, 2011
Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green. It pours deep ruby, with a thick, off-white head. The nose is wood, spice and lemon pith. The taste is wood, leather, subtle sweet dark fruit, roasted malt, soap, metal and plastic, with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not great.

Leighton (4094) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - SEP 25, 2011
Cask at the White Horse, Parsons Green, London. Pours clear amber with a white foam head. Looks great; but, unfortunately, looks are where the greatness ends. Has a nondescript aroma. Light notes of toast. Flavor is lightly sweet with some toast and an overriding plastic character, which is unfortunate. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Leafy bitter finish, light sugar. Faint burnt white sugar. Not much going for this. Not very good.
