Straight forward. Thursday, November 20, 2008

DruncanVeasey	2.8 Grindleton Ribble Rouser Covfest ’08. Gold with white halo. Some hop mustiness in the nose. Slight and distant. Sad and tired English hops attempting citrus? A late flourish of corn. Inoffensive but really dull. Sorry, Keith. Saturday, April 12, 2008
maeib	3.6 Grindleton Ribble Bitter Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Leicester BF. A copper coloured beer with a whitish head. The aroma is pretty damn fine and complex with some biscuity malt and grassy hops. The taste is nice light hops and good balancing malts. Crisp and tasty. A fine all round good drinking bitter with everything in the right place, and all at just 3.7% Saturday, March 15, 2008
imdownthepub	2.8 Grindleton Ribble Rouser Cask conditioned at The Woolpack, Banbury. Pale straw with slight head. Thin dry bitter with very little character to grab hold of. Some lightly boiled vegetable notes rather than hop impact. Not great. Saturday, March 15, 2008
DonMagi	3.3 Grindleton Old Fecker Cask in Bon Accord. Aroma is hoppy and slightly grainy pale malts. Taste is balanced and very drinkable. Wednesday, February 20, 2008
downender	3.4 Grindleton Plum Duff Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 28/1/08. This was very hard to categorise: deep brown with a moderate tan head. The aroma had plenty of caramel, some dark chocolate and a whiff of earth hops. Full mouth feel with more caramel and a long vaguely spicy after-taste. Very good. Monday, January 28, 2008
MesandSim	2.5 Grindleton Ribble Rouser A Mes rate: Gravicask at Pigs Ear. Very pale blonde with an oily film. Mellow hoppy and spicy nose. Flavour is wehat, tea and a slight hoppy bitterness in thie finish. Boring. Tuesday, December 18, 2007
MesandSim	3.3 Grindleton Farleys Dusk A Sim rate (cask at the Wenlock): Apple, pear and sweet fruity aroma. Fresh. Not much like a porter, but nice nonetheless. Opaque black colour. Not as much flavour as the aroma suggests. Bitter initially, with a sharp chocolately finish. OK, but not outstanding. Monday, December 17, 2007
Svesse	3.7 Grindleton Farleys Dusk (Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 28 Nov 2007) Black colour with frothy, pale brown head. Roasted nose with notes of tar, liquorice and coffee. Malty, roasted taste with coffee, dark fruit and dark chocolate (or maybe chocolate muffins). Not overly sweet. Very nice beer. Friday, December 14, 2007
Rastacouere	2.5 Grindleton Ribble Rouser A lacy white head lasts over the clear light golden body. Annoyingly vegetal nose reminds of celery salt combined with its strong mineral backbone. Simplistic floral hop profile. Light-bodied, comfortable and easy-drinking, growing more of a bite in the finish where a certain zesty feel can be noticed, but its malts are timid all along and while it is fresh, the hops don’t really fit with the saltiness. Tuesday, November 13, 2007
imdownthepub	3.4 Grindleton Farleys Dusk Cask conditioned at Oxford Beer Fest ’07. Dark brown with slight cream head. Slightly thin in character, this is a bit of a mix, fruity malty as in a strong mild but with a touch of coffee in the background. Some blackberry but lacking acidity. Soft & smooth. An interesting mix. Saturday, October 13, 2007
DonMagi	3.1 Grindleton LPA (Lancashire Pale Ale) Bon Accord. Alround, pale malts, grassy bittering hops, hints of spice throughout and a bitter finish. Tuesday, August 28, 2007
Ungstrup	2.6 Grindleton Ribble Rouser Cask at Bon Accord, Glasgow. A hazy light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is swweet with light notes of citrus and malt. The flavor is sweet with light notes of malt, and stronger notes of citrus and hops, while the body is a bit thin. Quite refreshing. Sunday, August 26, 2007
DonMagi	3.1 Grindleton Ribble Rouser Bon Accord. Aroma is grassy bittering hop, pale lager malts. Taste is similar with quite a bit of bittering hop in here. Sunday, August 26, 2007
harrisoni	3.7 Grindleton Ribble Rouser Cask handpull at Bon Accord, Glasgow. Pale gold, lasting off white head. Really good citrusy beer. Lovely grapefruit. Sherberty. Does it well and probably my best beer of my first night in Glasgow. Thursday, August 23, 2007
DJMonarch	3.4 Grindleton Old Fecker Cask Handpump at the New Oxford, Salford 16/03/2007 Hoppy aroma. Clear golden coloured and very hoppy with some dryness and bitterness in a crisp full malt finish. Tuesday, July 24, 2007
DJMonarch	3 Grindleton Ribble Rouser Cask Handpump at the New Oxford, Salford 16/03/2007 Fruity and slightly rich aroma. Amber coloured and a little hazy in appearance. Some dryness in a bitter lasting malt finish. Tuesday, July 24, 2007
SilkTork	2.2 Grindleton Gradley Bitter Dartford Beer Fest. Greasy and bitter. A crude attempt at an old fashioned hoppy beer. The bitter burn of pellets. No fragrance. No finesse. Unbalanced. Hmmmm. OK, some fragrance emerges quite late. But too late to redeem the initial impression. The malt is watery and undistinguished, and the hops are simply bitter. Wednesday, July 18, 2007
