It is 3.8° and it tastes like a mix between fruit juice and some water used for cleaning dishes. Please, do not keep selling it as a Beer, thanks.

Cask (handpump) @ Brasserie 4:20, Via Portuense 82, Roma, Italy.

Unclear medium orange yellow colour with a small to average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted - caramel, moderate hoppy, citrus, light grapefruit. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration, hoppy, sewer notes. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20110609]

Eccellente IPA dorata, dolciastra, bella agrumata, leggerissima, quasi una golden ale. Ottima bevuta!!!

Cask - Planet Thanet Festival 2010, Margate. Poured a clear coppery amber with a hint of head. Unimpressive eggy aroma with a bit of earthiness behind it. Fortunately not as bad on the tongue - simple, caramel with just a touch of the sulphur - but still disappointing considering the potential shown with their Black Pig porter. Standard body and mouthfeel with low carbonation.

Cask (gravity dispense) at Pigs Ear Beer Festival, 1 December 2009. A new brewery for me. This is a decent, if unadventurous, early effort. A straightforward, amber coloured, UK style ordinary bitter. Competently executed. But I wish microbrewers wouldn’t ape Green King and badge basic, low ABV bitters as IPAs.

Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear BF 09. Copper colour slight haze, lasting bubbly head. Some hop on aroma, rubber yeast. Bit of rubber in mouth, not a huge amount of condition. Bit muddy and earthy. Hints of hop on finish. Not enormously good I must say. Bit uncultured, could settle down to be decent in later brews.

Cask at the Pig’s Ear Fest ’09. Alround rating: Pale clean malt, fairly citrusy with tangarin showing and lemon on the finish, grassy and bitterness in the finish. Giood show for a first beer!
