3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Gravity at Birmingham Beer Fest. Nice, sticky Brtiish IPA style Golden beer. Some good fruity, hardish hop. Nice lasting flavour and is quite good really.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask Stillage at the Labour Club, Glossop 01/09/2006
Strong slightly sulphourous aroma. Amber coloured strong in alcohol with some acidic taste. Crisp and a little dry in the finish.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask (gravity) at the Derby CAMRA summer festival 2005. Promising stuff from another new Derby brewer. Deep copper body, deep dryness, certainly a beer to get your teeth into.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask (gravity), Derby Beer Festival, July 2005. Cloudy copper colour with lumpy bits of yeast floating around - not an auspicious start. Dry, with lots of lipsmacking bitter hop character. Quite assertive. No obvious malt presence but that’s not a problem for me as I like hop dominated beers. Others might find it rather one-dimensional. As maeib says, perhaps not at its best, but a promising effort.

Cask conditioned - gravity - Derby BF. An amber coloured bitter with a bit of a dry fruity aroma with maybe an apply note. The taste is also fruity with a berry character. Don’t think this was at its best but it was OK.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Derby Fest 05. Toffee brown and amber with no head. Aromas are sweet and malty with dry hoppiness and some fruit. Flavours are sweet malts with dry, spicy hops. Very basic.
