On cask (gravity dispense) at Great British Beer Festival, day 3 on 6 August 2009. No ABV states. Pale gold. Thin and not very IPA-like. Rather lifeless & short of zing. Good to see an Irish micro giving it a go but this probably hadn’t travelled too well. Flagged for re-rate. Default score in the meantime.

Cask @ GBBF 09, Great British Beer Festival, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London, England.
Clear medium yellow orange color with virtually none head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, fruit, honey, moderate to light heavy hoppy, herbs. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. [20090806]

Pale golden with a small white head. Fruity and grassy aroma with apple peel notes. Dry and fruity flavour with a littl tea character

Cask Stillage at the GBBF, Earl’s Court 06/08/2009 Pale aroma. Golden coloured fruity pear flavour with a crisp and slightly bitter dry finish.

Cask at GBBF 2009. Gold, no head. Some floral hop aroma. Earthy hop. Bit of tea flavour. Hop flavour is not my area. Pretty horrid to be honest.

5.2% abv. Golden-yellow glow. Dry malty to the nose. Lighter flavour of citric hops with a moderate dry hop bitterness in a medium-lived aftertaste. Just alright (Sample, GBBF 06.08.2009).

Cask at GBBF 09 ....Gold yellow ... light wattery hop nose ... light lemon ... light dry hop.
