bobinlondon (492), Harrow, Greater London, England Jul 17, 2008 Handpulled cask at JDW Stanmore. Gold with a lacy white head. Robinsons beers are an aquired taste, they say. I aquired a liking for them 25 years ago and think that they are still one of the better regionals. This is a good example of their house characture. Dry with earthy hops and grainy malt. Very north western in style.

It’s an alright yeasty bitter with some character. Actually not bad, good character, some drying hop on end. Magicdave6 (4156), London, Greater London, England Sep 14, 2008 Cask at the new crown and alred herring. If one were to read mesandsims rating they may understand what im trying to say however here it goes: grassy, golden ale, pale malts, nutty, a semi angry fist which only goes in the dierction of greeks.
