(Cask at GBBF, London, 7 Aug 2008) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of earthy, citrussy hops and hints of honey. Malty taste with initial citrus notes, leading to a solid, slightly sweet and malty middle and leaving with earthy hops in a bittersweet finish. Medium to full body, slightly heavy mouthfeel. Nice one.

Cask. Low white and quickly disappearing fluffy head. Clear golden body. Hoppy and grassy aroma. Strong and hoppy piney grassy flavor. Low carbonation, long aftertaste.

Bottle. Poured a dark copper colour with a thin white head which soon diasppears. Plenty of fruit in the aroma. The taste is plenty of fruit and spice. The high alchol content comes through.

Cask conditioned gravity, White Cliffs BF 08. Gold/copper colour, thin beige head. Several people had this over the 2 days and said it was good. Some fruit. Quite a decent flinty type of beer. Then it was back to the Moor JJJ IPA!!!!
