Bottle at Chris o New Year tasting 08/09. It’s alright. Quite a stable 10% IPA with decent flavours. It’s got a pretty good malty backbone, but it’s ok hop. Not too aggressive.

Cask at Banbury Beer Festival Fri 23rd March. Pours amber in colour with great clarity, fruit and hops were present in the aroma stakes. This was a very good beer that got better as it warmed up, once again just a bit on the cold side. Plenty of hops hit you along with ever present knowing nod of the alcohol reminding you that you are indeed drinking a bit of a beast, touch chewy and fruity, but a great beer nonetheless that would probably have been marked higher if it had have been a bit warmer.
