[Cask at GBBF 2004] An orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is quite strong and is sweet. The flavor contains lots of caramel, so much, that the mouthfeel gets a little sticky, but it is balanced by a dry hoppy end.

Cask Conditioned, at the GBBF, 2004.
Amber body. Sulphurous aroma. Last beer of the day an unfortunately early finish and my only day at the event.

A rare appearance for this beer away from the pub it is brewed for, and a very welcome one. Golden colour. Hops dominate the aroma and flavour of this beer - no doubt the dry hopping is quite generous. There is also a hint of sulphur on the nose. The taste is very fresh, finishing quite sharp. Light mouthfeel. Some people may find this a little one-dimensional, I rather liked it. Cask, GBBF 2004, day 1.

GBBF, London. Cloudy, light brown, with no head. A slight sourness on the aroma. Apple juice flavour, especially on the finish. Some copper bitterness to start, in a peppery mouthfeel. Some germanic hops here too, maybe.
