dnas2 (524), Yelverton, Devon., Devon, England May 12, 2008 (Cask, December 2007). Dark straw colour with a very short head. A slight scent of some hop. Good body, moderate bitterness. Quite floral in the mouth, some hops present. OK, but a bit average.
Magicdave6 (4092), London, Greater London, England Jan 13, 2008 From cask in 3 Judges had in house from milk carton. Aroma is minimal, pale malt and honey hints. Taste is like strong water with hints of a herby, peppery, sulphurs salt. But very drinkable. DruncanVeasey (1817), No. 46, Leicestershire, Belgium Dec 3, 2007 Pulled at The Altar from a pump adorned with Robbie Coltrane’s face. Less agrressively bitter than the Reinbeer, but a more rounded and pleasantly hoppy drop. Considered posting it as my 1000th rating, so it must have been good. Almost onion-like, ganja-ish fresh hopcone sweatiness in the nose. Just sniff that. Musty, tangy citrus with peanut husk and biscuit. Generously hopped, citrussy ale with a softening sweetness in the aftertaste.
