DJMonarch (4091), Northwich, Cheshire, England Mar 4, 2006 Cask Stillage from the jug at the Smithfield Hotel, Manchester 16/04/2005
Clear golden coloured with some hop and fruit aromas. Pleasant malt finish. MrWalker (928), Stockholm, Sweden Jun 3, 2005 Gravity @ 32nd Cambridge Beer Festival, UK. 25th May 2005 Quite burtonised (sulphury) aroma, not so much in taste. Rather grassy and otherwise green taste. Maybe a bit young. Quite refreshing though, and I wouldn’t mind another try of this beer. chris_o (4405), London, Greater London, England Jun 1, 2005 Light amber colour. Slightly hazy. Strong grassy hop aroma, with some resinous notes. The hop presence is less marked on the palate, with some dry malt coming through. It still has a rather astringent mouthfeel. The finish falls away a bit. By no means a bad beer but it doesn’t quite fulfill the early promise and the final impression lacks a bit of muscle. Cask (gravity), Cambridge Beer Festival.
maeib (3949), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Mar 18, 2005 Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Leicester BF. A light golden coloured ale which has a touch of fruit in the aroma but there is an off-putting sulphur character. The taste is malty and grassy and a bit disappointing. A bit nothing really.
