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.

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).

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.
