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.

Cask@Dartford BF. Sulfury nose, but with some nice aromatic hops, pale malts, bready/grainy, pretty easygoing.

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).

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.

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.
