Half-pint, gravicask at St Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2023. Shared with Finn. Clear copper-amber body, bubbles on the surface, clingy lacing. Promising caramel-fruity aromas. Well blended taste of leafy hops, caramel, and earth. Bittersweet ending, semi-dry. Well crafted. (St Albans, 27.09.2023).

På St. Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2023. Delt med Rune. Mørk stråfarget. Klar. Luftig filmskum. Litt lacing. Lett kjeksaroma. Hint av frukt. Smaken som aromaen. Balansert. Tørr bitter avslutning.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] An amber pour with a trace of white head; fresh English hop aroma; fruity hop taste with a malty body; and then bitter floral hops and a biscuity finish. A rather good traditional bitter.

Cask at the Bootlegger, 12/07/18. Golden pour with a decent off white cap. Nose is grains, faint citric peel, bread, dusty fruits, earthy, biscuit crumbs. Taste comprises hedgerow, dusty fruit esters, straw, grains. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Fuggley nonsense.

Håndpumpet smaksprøve, på Anglesea Arms: klar kobbergylden med ok skum. Til å være "heavily hopped" er den både snill og beskjeden. Allikevel en myk og behagelig alkoholsvak ipa slik engelske bryggere er så dyktige til. Skal prøves som pint ved neste anledning.
