This was our first brew which we originally showed at the Milton Keynes 2007 beer festival. Strong hoppy bitterness with a smooth finish and a hint of caramel. Some comments by email - "Good flavour and nice and light", Nigel of Biddenham, Beds. "Full of flavour", Trevor of Riseley, Beds.

Bottle from Blue Glass, Bedford. Pours dark amber with a small lasting just off-white head. Aroma of light biscuit and caramel, hop, malt and tuch of citrusy fruit. Medium plus sweetness, medium bitterness, nicely balanced. Light body, slightly watery texture, soft to average carbonation. Finishes with lasting hoppy and fruity bitterness. Nice light ale.

Cask at the Southampton Arms on 9th February 2011. Copper with dead head. Grassy aroma and lemon citrus fruit in-mouth. Tangy citric aftertaste and a very smooth light watery mouthfeel. Drinkable, but for me the main taste didn’t deliver what the initial scent promised.

Cask, gravity dispense at Merton Summer Beer Festival July 18th and 19th 2008 A strange beer that fell into that marmite catergory unfortunately most people were in the don’t like camp. Poured light amber with small white head. Initially I get some toffee and when you think its going to lead onto a nice bitter beer with some nice toffee sweetness, bit malty but quite tasty, well it doesn’t (not for me anyway!) its just slides after the toffee, its got that amateur homebrew quality about it nothing appears quite as it should, I didn’t get the medicinal flavour that Glen got but there was something unusual about this. I was surprised that some people really liked this, amazingly it even pulled in some votes for beer of the festival, but alas it wasn’t my thing.
