Oct 7, 2005 Cask@St Albans Beer Festival. Cereally malt nose. Some slight undeveloped crackery malt flavours. Hops are leafy/earthy. The flavour is quite green. Sweetish at times.

Oct 3, 2005 Cask (gravity dispense), St Albans Beer Festival 2005. Attractive bronze colour. Biscuity malt aroma. Some dusty hops and a touch of citrus in the flavour. A fairly traditional best bitter tending towards an Autumnal style but it doesn’t really pack much of a punch. Solid but unspectacular.

Oct 3, 2005 St Albans. Gravity. Slightly rough edge gives some earthy character to an otherwise quite ordinary bitter. But what can you do? You drink ’em, you mark ’em, you move on...

Oct 3, 2005 Cask (gravity dispense), St Albans Beer Festival 2005. Orange copper colour, bubbly off white head, sherberty/grapefruit hop aroma, possible US hop influence. Good in mouth with hop/grapefruit finish. Yes, good 1st pint of the festival. Here with Chris O, Maeib, Kook, SilkTork and Duff

Sep 29, 2005 Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Amber with a nice creamy head that smells. A bit namby pamby in terms of punch, but the flavour is really good - balanced crisp hops, nice bitter finish. Needed more power.

Sep 20, 2005 Cask conditioned - handpump - Wellington Birmingham. An amber coloured beer with a malty oaty aroma together with some crunchy hop. The taste is malty and a bit biscuity. It is quite sweet with a little caramel in the aftertaste. Convinced there’s some crystal malt in there also.
