SilkTork (3778), Rochester, Kent, England Aug 27, 2004 Bright bottled at Peterborough Fest. Sulphury nose. A good clean, dry and refreshing bitter with a lingering dusty finish. Some fruit, and a sort of rancid honey, buttery note just before the finish. A decent beer. duff (5402), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Jul 21, 2004 Cask@Dartford BF. Sulfury nose, but with some nice aromatic hops, pale malts, bready/grainy, pretty easygoing. chris_o (4395), London, Greater London, England Jul 19, 2004 Beer #41 at Dartford Beer Festival, with Duff (SilkTork having departed). An excellent effort from a brewery that started production earlier this year. Pale, straw colour. Fresh hoppy aroma. Clean, hoppy taste, with a little malt at the start, which fades quickly. Mellow mouthfeel. Finished dry, but could use a little more grip. Otherwise, very nice. Cask (gravity dispense).
maeib (3802), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Jul 11, 2004 Cask conditioned - Gravity - Derby BF. A very pale bitter with a sweaty aroma. Their is some hoppiness in the taste but mostly bitterness. An OK beer. leaparsons (3776), Leicester, Leicestershire, England May 19, 2004 Bright clear gold with a foamy head. Aromas are sulphur, socks (sweaty), butter, grain, floral but sharp hops - there’s a lot going on. Flavours are sulphur and floral hops with buttery smoothness. A good dry finish and pretty bitter and sharp. Good stuff.
