Sep 9, 2008 Cask at GBBF08. Caramelly aroma. Almost clear amber colour. The flavour starts with a good clean bitterness. Turns more caramelly and then finishes with a cleansing bitterness.

Aug 11, 2007 Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - GBBF 2007. A golden coloured beer with some off-white bubbles for a head. The aroma is nicely hoppy with citrus fruits, mostly oranges. A really inviting nose. The taste is also nicely hoppy with good malts making the body good and the taste sbalanced. A very good example of an IPA.

Aug 8, 2007 Cask gravity at GBBF 07. Leafy hop aroma, good grapefruit. Bit too much tea perhaps in the mouth. Lovely, maybe a tad too leafy on the balance, but yeah it’s enjoyable.
