Jun 4, 2008 Cask at the Seven Stars, London. This is another excellent golden beer, with a smooth palate and lots of fruit flavours, both soft fruits and citrus. Dark Star is getting to be one of my favourite breweries.

May 15, 2008 (Cask at Gallows Bird on 2008-05-14) This is a beer with loads of hoppiness but still extremely smooth and balanced. There’s also a nice bready aroma going on. A very interesting real ale that’s tasty and drinkable at the same time!

May 2, 2008 half pint in Gallows Bird Espoo. Pale yellow gold, almost clear. white tiny head leaving lace as it diminishes almost entirely. smallest bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. did they cheat me in Gallows Bird? looks and smells, almost even tastes exactly like SIMA. Nice balance in favor of hops. sweet honey menthol. Milky smooth, not as flat as Real Ales sometimes are
