On cask at the White Horse, Saintfield. Appearance - amber with a nice fluffy head. Nose - toffee and dry biscuits. Taste - toffee more generous this time. A touch of dark chocolate. Figs, maybe. Dry biscuit finish again. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture. There’s a dry crunchy finish. Overall - decent example of the style.

Bottle at home in northern Ireland. Dull light amber / orange coloured pour with a greyish thin head. Aroma is nice hedgerow/ grassy hop with grainy cereal malts, flavour is composed of grainstore wheat, tannin, hedgerow hop, chalky water. Little lingering floral lavender. Palate is light, chalky, spritzy carbonation. Decent bitter.

500ml bottle, BB Aug 14
Dark golden in the glass, fluffy white head. The beer starts smooth and dry. For the Bitter, I miss the typical Ale-yeast characteristics a bit. The mainpart is malty, dry-malty, hints of roast. On the tongue remains a nice bitter-dry and malty aftertaste, which I like very much.
Nice brew that gets better till the end. --> 10/11/12/11

Amber, clear, slight off white head
Aroma - light citrus, soft toffee
Taste of spicy hops, light toffee malts, touch of lemon, simple flavours
Palate - Soft carb, light body, bit oily. Finish - mellow bitter spicy, touch of zest, quite dry, has a decent finish
Overall - Fair amount of flavour here for the light abv - not bad. Good spicy bitter finish.

Pigs Ear. The Long Good Friday teamed up with ChrisO. Clear gold - amber beer. Suddy off white head. Palate is light and fairly crisp. Passable hops - tangy dried fruits and a little orange. Semi dry finish with more mild dried fruits. Okay.

Bottle at parents house - 24/08/12. Clear golden amber with a decent off-white head. Sweet malt, candy floss, peach, cinnamon, rhubarb and ginger in the nose. Hops in the taste, citrus fruit and spices. Medium bodied with carbonation at the high end leading to a dry finish. Pleasant enough drinking.
