May 13, 2004 Cask Conditioned, at the Wenlock Arms, London.
Amber with a just the thinnest of ringlets clinging to the edge. Absolutely gorgeous. The most immaculately conditioned beer, it truly was a special. Smooth butter scotch and honey flavour wonderfully contrast against mellow, yet firm hops. The hoppiness extends from the middle of the beer and to a long extended finish. I didn’t note too much down about this beer but rather freewheeled and enjoyed it fully, like a normal person not in the grip of a ratings addiction.

Jul 25, 2005 Bottle. Lightly hazy golden colour with a huge white head. Fresh hoppy aroma. Nice hoppy bitter flavour with a touch of grapefruit; very crisp and refreshing. Nice, I’d like to try it from cask.

Oct 4, 2004 Bronze colour. Strong floral, fruity, hop aroma. Spicy hop and orange peel flavour underpinned by more fruit and some subtle malt. Dry, quite bitter finish. Very crisp and refreshing. Excellent stuff. Cask, GBBF 2004, with Dan Brown.

Aug 9, 2004 GBBF, London, gravity. Sampled with chris_o and ungstrup. Orange beer, with a smooth, very thin head. Very good stuff: a real clean and fully formed hoppy flavour, with plenty of grapefruit. Refreshing.
