Tasted at the batemanโs brewery beer festival in late May 2007. Poured by gravity into a half pint sleeve glass, this light amber, almost golden beer arrived without any head, something I donโt normally like. Challenger and Stilton hops gave the beer its light colour, but added nothing to an average aroma. The tase was dry, crisp and satisfying, as was the mouthfeel. This was a very good beer, one of the best tried during the fest visit.

Warning! Early amateur rating! On tap at the Sun Inn, Kelvedon. Reminds of Oakham JHB somewhat. Nice zesty fruits but with more Clementine than Orange. Not too bitter and very drinkable.

8th July 2009. Mid brown clear beer. Dry and crisp with a sour hop just dominating the malt. Minerally and a little watery. A bit strange. A 2.7 on this sampling. 23rd September 2008. BBE Jabb 08 bottle. Cloudy amber beer. A sweetish start followed by a little fruit in the middle. Finishes with a somewhat spirity malt and a little citrus.
