[i]BCA part of a Christmas present from my dad was a selection of Thornbridge Hall beers [/i] Had this over the New Year whilst down in Devon. Poured a Pale Golden colour, bit citrusy and hoppy good bite to this beer and decent bitterness levels but otherwise unremarkable.

Blond color; thin head. Nice aroma, mild, with some malt and grassy hops. Good body, malty, fresh, hoppy, full flavor, with some fruitness. Excellent English Ale!

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy yellow beer with a thin dense yellow head. The aroma is sweet and rather flowery. The flavor is sweet and very flowery, leading to a dry and very bitter end, that also has a note of honey. The aftertaste is acidic grapefruit. But the body is thin.

Cask gravity at Rare Breeds BF 06. Gold with lasting white head. Good hop/malt balanced aroma. Lovely in mouth. Good hop finish, some creaminess. Yet another great Thornbridge beer. The fruit and hop balance is fantastic. Citrus hop. My non Kent beer of the festival.
