Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol 2/11/10. Amber with a slight, off-white head. Sweetish, caramel and fruit aroma. Fruity malt flavour, with a touch of citrus and decent, bitter finish. Ok.

Cask, handpull at The Standing Order, JDW, Edinburgh, with Craig, Rob (Rob’s mate) Jan, Charlotte & Loz, 29.10.10 Pours amber with good head, great clarity looks decent. Better than many GK beers, s it is not too sweet, with not so much toffee. Some light fruitiness and bitterness. Better than expected. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Spoons Fest! Clear amber beer with a tiny white head. Light dry palate that is also softish. Smooth malt with cooling almost minty hops. Some orange as well but very little bitterness. Traces of sweet red fruit and banana. Dry finish and then some bitterness in the aftertaste. Nice!

Cask at the Prince Arthur (JDW), Fleet. An attractive golden amber colour with a thin off-white head; aroma of red fruit; thin, sweet and lightly fruity with some slightly sour malts; and a touch of spice to finish. Quite pleasant.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Red-amber in colour with a slight, off-white head. Earthy malt and sweet fruit aroma. Flavour of barley sugar, with some more earthiness and short bitter finish. Unmemorable.

50cl bottle from Sainsburys. Reddish copper with a fast fading white head, and moderate carbonation; aroma of rich, slightly spicy, caramel malts; spicy fruit flavours; and a lightly spiced sweet bitter finish with perhaps a touch of lemon. Not bad for GK.

Bottle from Sainsburys, Kidlington, Oxon and consumed at Towersey Festival, Oxon 2009 Poured amber with an off-white head. Aroma on this one is very spicy with a touch of malt. The taste is also spicy but malty, there is toffee also, not bad for a GK beer but unfortunately its a touch too sweet for me. A6 A3 F6 P3 Ov12 3.0
