(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 31 July) Colour is golden yellow with green tinges, small head. Nose is fruity with lemon and grassy hops, a bit closed. Taste is fruity and hoppy with notes of lemon, but mainly with a long bitter finish with a nice grassy hop character and nutty notes. Light to medium body and rather dry. Very nice finish. Grows on you.

500ml bottle. Black with disappearing dark beige head. Impy stout aroma. Oily dark malts. Very thick, quite a bit of sourness. Coffee and choc. Really interesting, lots of flavour. Tarry aroma. Sour. Some prune, liquorice. Nice, but needs more on its velvety depth.

500ml bottle. Cloudy amber, disappearing off white head. Intense grapefruit hop aroma. Bit of odd yeast. Bit fishy. Bit over carbonated. Carries alcohol well, but lacks malt. Hop finish is zingy and grassy. Just a bit empty, but the aroma and hops pick up the score.

Bottle conditioned. A deep red beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of both fruit and nuts. The flavor is sweet malty again with notes of fruit, but also caramel and a light note of flowers from the hops, before a quite bitter end sets in.

Cask at GBBF 2006. Golden with thin white head. Hoppy aroma with citrus. Blond style of beer. I like this, but then again I think that Durham make some good beers. Nice blond citrus hoppy beer. Drinkable and moreish. Has enough hop on the end to make you want to take another taste.

(Bottle 50 cl) Slightly hazy amber with a small, neat, dense off-white head. Slightly fat hop aroma with the alcohol already showing here. Only medium-bodied, citrusy fresh notes - sort of vitamin-C style. Distinct, bitter finish and a rather dominant alcohol without the body to sustain it. 310706

(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy, orangey golden with tiny, stale impurities and a small, off-white head. Very citrusy nose. Medium-bodied, incredibly dry and completely dominated by the almost grapefruity hops. Remains dry and bitter in the finish. 300606

Cask gravity at Reading BF 06. Golden, no head. I normally like Durham beers, but this was a little sub par for me. Golden, no head. Hoppy beer, odd violet flavour in the mouth. Ugh. Didn’t much like it.
