Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Festival 09-05-08 Apparently as the name suggests this is brewed by Gary Mitchell at the Elland plant, so I was reliably informed by a North Oxon CAMRA scooper Paul Yarrop at Banbury Beer Beer Festival. Pours light amber with some sweet citrus which leaks plenty of bitterness around the edge’s and roof of my mouth. The bitter edge to this beer lasts a little while and the beer finishes quite dry, there is some banana on the nose and also some sweet candy in the mouth.

May 11, 2008 Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Fest ’08. Amber gold with white head. Pretty standard dry bitter with hints of lemony bittering hops on a slightly watery body. Dry and refreshing, but struggling on the last day of the festival.

Feb 23, 2008 Cask gravity at Bricklayers Arms 2nd Annual Yorkshire BF 08. Gold with slight haze. Lasting beige head. Probably not quite ready yet. A little muddy in mouth, good bitter hop on end. Bit of butter on aroma. Very good bittering hop though. Muddy earthy in mouth, give it half a day and it’ll be much better.
