Gethinbeer (1524) - Musky, Nova Scotia, CANADA - JUL 15, 2007
Pint in the Boat, Redbrook. Not to strong in the aroma. Oak flavour, possibly nutty hints in it. Not really a bitter but smooth on the palette.

Fin (5489) - Merton, Oxfordshire, England, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - MAR 9, 2007
Cask, handpump at The Bell, Leominster. Copper in colour with a small white head, a good session beer if a smidgen too sweet, but not as nice as the Wye Valley HPA that I also tried.

StueyD (590) - King’s Lynn, Norfolk, Norfolk, ENGLAND - MAR 21, 2006
A dark amber brown beer with a light white head. A clean, light toasted malt nose with some hop in the finish. The taste is very dry, hops are very apparent, there is a hint of sweet maltiness in the smooth finish. (Bottle).

Cask handpull Ship & Mitre Liverpool. Copper, thin off white head. Some citrus aromas. Bit watery in mouth. Some lemon/lime and hop on the end. Just a little indistinct that’s all. Not much of anything.

chriso (7062) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 19, 2005
Standard copper colour. Fruity, with some dusty hops. Finishes dry. A perfectly acceptable session bitter but, in truth, there’s not a lot happening to lift it above the ordinary. Cask (gravity dispense), Catford Beer Festival, June 2005.
