A Mes rate:
Bottle at RBESG. Are all Colonsay beers infected? 3 out of 3 at the gathering. Bready malt upfront, light bitterness in the finish. Very run of the mill and from what I tasted, just about to turn really nasty.

568ml bottle (ChrisO’s pre-GBBF2011 "Donkey Dork Lord" shindig)
Not much to say about this, it’s just a perectly ordinary bitter. Well executed, clearly made from all the right ingredients in the right proportions, but not going much beyond that. Not bad for a bottled beer, doesn’t feel dead (and I don’t think it was BC, as it wasn’t yeasty).

ChrisOs ’Donkey Dork Lord’ Pre-GBBF Tasting. Clear gold beer, good white head. Light lagerish malt, not much else going on. Hate to kick beers from new breweries but guys - you need hops to brew an IPA! Boring!
