Maidstone Beer Festival. Toffeeish slightly spicy ale with little hints of tobacco. No finesse as we say in the sweaty men’s club as we fart to lift those weights.

6th August 2009
GBBF Cask. Clear amber beer. Light sweet malt, a little dry, Trace of banana. Finishes dry with more rich malt. Tasty!

Tasted this at the Paisley Beer Festival in April 1991. Cask, gravity dispense. So looking forward to trying this but may have been put on too soon. Hazy gold amber in colour with very little head if any. Slight whiff of boiled eggs in the short chemical aroma. Thin mouthfeel and poor lacing. Pale malts give a digestive biscuit base with hints of watery caramel, golden syrup and ripe honeydew melon. Tangy citric notes of hop resins in the aftertaste. Poor weak finish with barley sugar notes evident. Need to rate this again at some point for a proper evaluation.

(cask) clear golden colour with a creamy white head. aroma of grain, dark fruit and barnyard, with a light meatiness. flavour is slightly grainy, with surprisingly big notes of pine and citric hops. medium-bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask-conditioned at the JDW in Pontypridd, 16 May 2010. Amber coloured with a slight off-white head. Caramel aroma with a bit of citrus in the background. Flavour was much the same: sweet malts, some orange fruit and a dryish finish. Alcohol was rather prominent. Ok.

Cask @ GBBF 09, Great British Beer Festival, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London, England.
Light light unclear light to medium orange amber color with virtually none head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, caramel, light to moderate hoppy. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is flat. [20090804]

Cloudy amber with a small white head. Aroma of grassy hops and malt, with a little sulphur. Sweet fruity and grassy flavour

Cask at GBBF 2009 ... amber ... sweet orange toffee nose ... soft fruity soft dull ... easy .

Cask@GBBF2009. Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is yeast, some earth and mild notes of glue. Flavour is quite much the same along with some slight oaky notes.

Cask@GBBF. Golden amber color, not much head. Cardboardish nose with some fruits (pear). Flavor is perry mixed with grassy, cat pee hops. Boring and a bit unbalanced.

Cask (Gatekeeper JDW,Cardiff) - Dark golden in colour. Malty aroma with some fruity hints. Bitter and malty taste with a mild sweetness and some fruity notes. Does not taste like it’s 6%.
