Cask (gravity dispense) at Pigs Ear Beer Festival (Day 1) on 6 December 2011. First sighting of a beer from this new brewery for me. Fairly pale amber colour. A straightforward and easy-drinking session bitter with touches of biscuity malt and moderate bitterness, with just a twist of citrus. Perfectly solid but, surrounded by many other similar beers it didn’t really stand out from the crowd.

Cask at Pigs Ear. Clear gold beer, suddy white head. Light dry palate. Sulphur in the honeyish malt. Marmalade hops. Would have been fine but the sulphur ruins it.

Cask conditioned at Fleetwood Beer Fest ’12. Gold with white head. Light, quite thinnish, dry beer, some orange peel in the flavour. Easy but not lasting on the palate, a touch of sweetness. Ok but a but unassuming.

Cask at Pig’s Ear Beer Festival, London. Bronze colour. Chewy doughy bread, a bit of grass and some crystal malt. Sweet and soft with firm body. Sweaty bitterish finish. A rustic, well drinkable bitter on the sweeter side.

Cask@Pigs Ear Beer Festival 2011. Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruits, wood, caramel, earth and some mild yeasty notes. Flavour is caramel, wood, some earth and mild bready notes too. Mild herbal and barky notes towards the finish.
