Jun 1, 2009 Fresh at the brewery in Sussex. A golden coloured ale with a reasonable white head. Aroma of hops. Crisp tasting hoppy ale with citrus taste. An incredibly tasty beer for such a low ABV. You can drink a gallon of this and feel fine the next morning!

May 29, 2009 Cask - The Butcher’s Arms, Herne. A golden yellow coloured beer with a fine and frothy, lasting white head. Nice sweetness on the nose with orangey citrus fruits and a grassy note. The flavours combine this citrus backbone with more grassy qualities as well as a delicate floral tone. Lightish body but packed with flavour. Crisp and refreshing with a lasting palate texture and bitterness as well as a warming sensation in the throat.

May 9, 2009 Gravity, Rugby 09. Brilliant yellow gold haloed with white. Sweaty fresh squeezed hop aroma suggesting grapefruit and lychee. All that in the mouth with lingering oaty vanilla, digestives, rabbit hutch. Sweaty and bulbous at the strength. Classic festival opener.

Apr 10, 2009 [1885-20081206] Cask. Burlap hops grass aroma. Clear, medium orange brown body with quick white bubbles. Grassy hops flavour is not particularly bitter, long finish. Medium body. Enjoyable, packs some punch with flavour, not alcohol.

Apr 5, 2009 Cask @ London Drinker 25:
Really pale with a cute white lace.
Big grassy hops on the nose with heavy underlying honey. Quite petrolly.
Big flavours. Hops and cereals fight head-on whilst a tickly bitterness yeilds to mellow hay only to reappear in the back of the throat. All underpinned by tangy marmalade.
Thin and a little grating on the tongue.
Good flavours, if a bit in-your-face. It’s a little hard on the inside of your mouth though.

Apr 4, 2009 Cask Salopian Bar - Golden yellow with a striking cascade hop aroma. Very clean with an abundance of flavour for a beer of its gravity.

Feb 24, 2009 Buffalo cask festival. Appearance: Light yellow with a slight haze. Small white head. Aroma: Nice grapefruit/hop aroma with some sweet cherry too. Flavour: Malty hop, nice juicy/bitter mouthfeel and a long dry finish. Nice.

Feb 7, 2009 Cask at Rattle n Hum. Pours a light golden with a slight fluffy white head fades a bit. Aorma is lightly hoppy- on the grassy side-0 and a bit herbal with crackery light pilsner/pale malts and a slight mineral catty thing going on. Flavor is doughy, some crackery malts, herbal and grasy hops with a light fruity ester - pear and light malts in the end. Somewhat crisp and fairly clean overall.
