chimp_lechamp (338), glasgow, Scotland Jul 25, 2008 cask at uisge beathe- pours hazy brown with sudsy head. nose is lemon rind, damp malt earthyness,and bread, some flowers as well. tastes fairly full bodied with a good amount of flowery hops. very much better than expected. Nuffield (2532), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Jul 20, 2007 Classic amber color with clinging white, loosely formed head. Classic caramel profile. Easy drinking. Not bad, even though two people tonight told me it wouldn’t be good. Simple, fine bitter with a nice range of malt/hop interaction flavors. (cask at Three Judges, Glasgow) cgarvieuk (2160), Edinburgh, Scotland Jul 16, 2007 Cask winstons Edinburgh. Light slightly hazy amber ... bright fruity hop nose ... lots of grapefruit hop ... fruity linger ... tending to drying hop in finnish. wee bit bitter for me. Magic_dave6 (3536), London, England Jul 9, 2007 Sate bar. Aroma had hints of nutty, caramel malts with loads of raw bitteriong hops. Taste is nutty with a bit of buttery malts comign through, quite a bit of bittering hops but no real character. harrisoni (4930), Ashford, Kent, England Jul 24, 2006 Cask handpull at Market Porter, Borough. Seriously, that is the name of this beer. It’s true, it even appears in beermad.org.uk Beautiful light session bitter, with plenty of hop presence. Fruity, strawberry/lemon aroma, with good hops. Fine in mouth, with a good strong hop finish. Lots of flavour for a 3.6% beer. This is a cracking beer. The light fruit and strong hop are excellent.
