Cask handpull at Ship & Mitre, Liverpool. Golden, thin white head. Quite a delightful blonde, summery, citrus, hoppy beer, with a bit of alcool sweetness and a juicy feel. Really nice hoppy aroma. Fruit on the end is excellent

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2005] A hazy orange beer with a white head. Both the aroma and flavor are malty with notes of caramel. Quite boring.

Gravity cask at Ashford Rugby Club. Orange, amber colour with bubbly white head. Not sure what to make of this. Some citrus and banana, with more banana on palate. Spicey finish, not a lot of hop except on end.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] A light orange beer with a small bubbly and disappearing head. The aroma is sweet and slightly floral. The flavor is sweet with notes of ginger and a dry finish. A nice and very refreshing beer.

Cask at County Hotel JDW Ashford Bit of an oddity, but I like the lemon flavour that gives it a refreshing taste on a hot day. Golden yellowin colour with some herbaceous hops and that hint of lemon. Quite creamy

This is the first product I have encountered from this brewery. +++Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle the beer poured a black color with a minimal brown head. The aroma was light and had notes of sour malt. The flavor was dry, roasty and had a chocolate element and a hint of coffee. Relatively dry overall. A rather basic and uninspiring porter.

Huh, huh huh, entire butt, huh huh. Okay, now that that is out of the way, this is a pretty decent porter. Nice, dark tan appearance, and a roasted malt aroma that invites you to drink. Toffee and coffee in the flavor, with a nice, roasty finish. The body is slightly thin, and, as Ringo pointed out, with 14 malts I expected a little more from this beer, but it is still a tasty, easy-drinking porter.
