Jul 27, 2008 Cask, Turf Tavern, Oxford. Copper, white frothy head. Caramel, a bit mineral/sulfur quality, buttery hops. Resiny mouthcoating hops blend unubtrusively with caramel malt and plumy esters. Surprisingly rustic for a Crouch Vale beer. It’s fine, a little better than average even, but it’s not up to the standard of what I expect from Crouch Vale.

Jul 3, 2008 From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing yellow head. Light fruity hoppy aroma. Flavour is nicely fruity hops with a light sweetness and followed by a nice caramel malt flavour. Nice bitter and mild fruity finish.

Dec 26, 2007 Cask with Mes at the Market Porter, 2nd Sept 2007. Clear amber appearance. Good aroma of grass, hops and a bit of malt. Nice bitterness and then a long lasting clean finish which is just what I like. A highly drinkable session bitter - good stuff from a good brewery.

Dec 1, 2007 Cask conditioned at The Woolpack, Banbury. Clear Amber with white head. A good session beer this, as we found out last night. Nicely balanced malt with medium hop impact, slightly sharp lemony and then rounding into a beery hoppy finish. Enjoyable, but I bet it will be gone by tonight, which is a sign of a good beer.
