Aug 22, 2008 Cask at the brewery. Very hazy amber-orange pour with a tight laced beige head. Aroma is lightly herbal and orangey with a touch of tobacco and earthiness. There is a lightly crackery malt base with that typical oxidized papery malt character that seems to be part of the house character here. Very leafy with a touch of resiny bitterness. Assertive leafy/earthy hop finish. It’s okay, but not great.

Aug 21, 2008 Cask@GBBF2008. Hazy amber/nutbrown colour, not much head. Aroma is US hops, spices, some nice fruityness and a bit of earth. Flavour is hops, caramel, spices and some notes of nectarine. Dry hay and grass along with spices in the finish.

Aug 19, 2008 Cask at GBBF 08. Hazy copper, thin bubbly beige head. Bit too earthy, probably on too early. Only a bit of carbonation. Decent hop, but just too muddy.

Aug 16, 2008 Draught. Medium high fluffy and long lasting off-white head. Hazy dark amber body. Lowvely clear fruity aroma of apples pears and banana. Hops dominated flavor of course but for once the fruit is more evident than normally. Low carbonation. Long bitter aftertaste.
