Surprisingly meaty on top of sandy nose combining herbal hops and light strawy malts for a spice, bitter-tart effect. The sourness also comes as a surprise as it renders an unpleasant astringency to the palate. Original ale, but quite ruined by its attempts at being different and not too pleasant ultimately.

Cask Stillage at the GBBF, Kensington Olympia 03/08/2001 (As Organic Brewhouse Lizard Point) Golden coloured with good levels of bitterness and a hoppy finish.

9th July 2008. One year past it’s BBE date. Odd ale. It manages to be both watery and dry at the same time! Sour malt and bitterish hop. Weird.

On gravity at the Hillgrove Porter Stores, Bristol 13/9/08. Golden in colour with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of hay, bread and a touch of grassy hops. Flavour began with a hint of sweetness, before some chewy malt and a short bitter finish. Subdued.

Cask at GBBF 2007. A golden beer with no head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with grassy hoppy notes as well as a touch of esters, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is thin.

Cask @ GBBF 2007, London. Golden color with virtually none head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, fruity, butter. Initial flavor is moderate sweet, middel flavor is moderate sweet, finish flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is creamy (buttery), carbonation is flat.

Cask@GBBF2007. Deep golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is caramel, fudge, wood and lots of nectar. Flavour is sweet nectar along with sour wood. Wellbalanced.
