The ’Jack of Clubs’ is a bottle conditioned, light ruby ale. Initial malty sweetness from British Crystal malts gives way to a balanced and lengthy hoppy bitterness created using a blend of flavourful and fragrant American hops.

Gravity dispense at Pigs Ear ’13, 03/12/13. Lightly hazed chestnut brown with a tan covering. Nose is caramel malt, biscuit brown sugar, light tropical fruit overlay. Taste comprises toffee fudge, sweet, tropical fruit underpin with a hint of grapefruit and bitter orange on display, caramel malt. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, a little watery, sweet finale. Ok stuff. Wouldn’t have had this as a bitter though - amber or brown perhaps - one of those difficult to categorise but too sweet and tropical for a bitter.

Bottle from Sourced Market St Pancras and drunk at home. Clear ruby colour with a lasting beige head. It?s a malty dry malty flavoured beer. Little bit of paper in there too. Hops aren?t huge but are there. It?s an ok malty beer, with some good mouthfeel. 3/5. Cask gravity at Firkin Ale House Folkestone. Maltier fuller better on cask. 3.1

330ml bottle. Clear dark copper colour with small to average, creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white to beige head. Malty aroma with a nuttily touch, cautious fruity hints of red berries. Taste is moderately dry malty, moderately bitter hoppy, fruity notes of red currant and other red berries.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a hazy dark amber with a thin off white head. The aroma is acid citrus. The flavour is weak sour very weak bitter with a watery raspberry palate. A nice beer that deserves a better rating IMO. Quite refreshing.

Light haze on this red - amber beer, small off white head. Palate is dry and crispy. Minerals. Light dry creamy malt with a trace of nuts. Light dried fruits with a tangy orange streak. Not bad.

Cask at the St. Albans Beer Festival 2013. Poured a clear, bright amber colour with a thin, scummy white head and nice lacing. Unusual aroma of hay, cinnamon and redcurrent. Fruity, raspberry flavour with caramel and grassy hops. Finishes with straw, hop resin and maple syrup sweetness. Interesting and tasty bitter.
