SilkTork (4691) - Rochester, Kent, United Kingdom, WALES - OCT 17, 2005
Sept, 2005. Market Porter.A beautiful hoppy bitter. Fresh and delicious. Can’t imagine the condition being any more perfect. Can’t imagine a more beautiful session bitter. The juicy malt and fresh dripping hops lasted for an hour afterwoods.

MesandSim (7108) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - SEP 8, 2008
A Mes rate: cask at the Hop Farm festival.
Bright gold with with a thin white head and good condition. Lovely citric grapefruit aroma with some excellent bready malt and very well balanced. The flavour is more of the same and in my eyes more golden blonde than bitter. Awesome grapefruit and all round glorious bright and sharp hoppage. Balanced perfectly, a really good dry feel and some more huge citrus in the finish. Excellent stuff.

thewolf (8245) - Kolding, DENMARK - NOV 18, 2008
Bottle, bought @ YNWA, Kolding.
Pours hazy golden with a nice, small, creamy, white head. Fin duration and okay lacing. Aroma is very pleasant, super, grassy hops, very grapefruity and pine-like. Super mouthfeel for the low ABV, dry and lovely. Flavour is very nicely hopped, very dry, grassy, fruity and light pine. Really world class.

hughie (3992) - Bedford, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - NOV 6, 2007
Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Copper gold with a small white head. Aroma is spicy hop and fruit. Thick, ashy, compost taste with a hint of citrus and a surprising bitter finish. Huge flavour for the ABV. And it’s a beer that grows on you as the pint goes down.

leaparsons (6082) - Leicester, Leicestershire, ENGLAND - JUL 28, 2007
Bottle. Golden orange with a small head. Aromas are caramel malts with soft citrus. Slightly peppery with floral hops. Flavours are toffee malts with spiced oranges and marmalade. Quite resinous and addicitive. Following hops are quite dry and bitter. A very well balanced beer. A great session beer.
