DruncanVeasey (6116) - NUNEATON, Blue Square Premier, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - APR 23, 2009
Cask gravity, ’All Creatures Great and Small’ festival, The Merchant Inn, Drugby. Pale and lace-speckled measure straight out of the cellar. Burton egg nose easing into fresh grassy hop, lovely spike of fresh pilsy bitterness from the Challenger in the mouth; grass, lemon, more sulphur. All wrapped up in a lingering crakerbread and pale biscuity maltiness. A bit TT, a bit Pilsner Urquell. Balance, condition and Big big flavour at 3.6%.

BREWMUSKCLES (1994) - New Jersey, USA - APR 6, 2009
from the keg at the gingerman nyc. cracker flavored initial flavor of sweetness and mild fruit with a bitter and somewhat biscuit palate that enters onto the buds with a mild bitter and tongue desensitizing hop prescence that is layered to make the experience soothing. a tricky little number i have been waiting on. demonstrative.

sliffy (2037) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - JUL 26, 2007
Cask @ Dilly Deli: Pours a slightly hazy rusty golden color with a fluffy off white head. Aroma, pale bready malts, some floral notes. Flavor, smooth, with some grainy malts, spicy and floral hop notes, a little nutty quality to it. Very smooth and easy to drink.

BBB63 (5411) - La Porte, Indiana, USA - JUN 29, 2003
Draft at the Map Room in Chicago. Amber hue with a small off-white head, no lacing. Hints of strawberry, pine, dough, and roasted malt in the aroma. Good balance, slighty hoppier than most. dry and lively mouthfeel. Above average session ale, recommended.
