Opaque black beer, few tan bubbles for a head. Palate is smooth and a little dry with mild fine carbonation. Smooth dark malt, traces of roast and earth. No cream though. Nice touch of blackberry fruits on the finish that livens the beer. Semi dry finish with subtle bubblegum ester and mild earthy aftertaste. Easy drinking.

Gravity Dispense at Pig’s Ear BF, London - 05/12/12. Very dark murky mahogony brown with a thin tan head that reains well. Nose is dark malts, hops, light chocolate notes, touch of pine. Taste follows nose, good chocolate beat to this one, light roast malt, touch of coffee. Medium bodied, smooth on the palate, soft carbonation. A decent hoppy chocolate mash up!

Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of peaches, citrus, grapefruit and slightly resiny hops in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Refreshing, tasty and quite nice.

Pigs Ear. Believe this is the same beer as Ruby Red. Clear darkish amber beer, tiny pale tan head. Light palate, semi dry. Lovely rich marmalade hops with fresh citrus and red berry fruits. Good malt base with a little toffee. Semi dry finish. Hoppy and tasty!

Cock Tavern. Keg. Very cloudy gold beer, residual white head. Not pretty! Palate is crisp and dry. Quite a dominant sweet grain to start, touch of rawness. A little tropical fruits hops but that grain dominates. Semi dry finish. Not right.

Cock Tavern. Keg. Hazy gold beer, tidy white head. Palate is light and crispy, semi dry. Minerals. Bready pale malts with a hint of lager character. Hops are European in style if not origin. Herb and spice but bolder than most European hops. Finishes smooth with the malt turning slightly creamy. Bitter grapefruit in the aftertaste. All right.

Cock Tavern.Keg. Cloudy gold beer, little white head. Palate is crisp and has some body for a 4% beer. Mild creamy malt base. Minerals. The Pacifica hops have a little skunk and a nice lighy complex citrus. Lemon with traces of grapefruit and lime. Touch of tangerine pith. Finishes crisp. Decent and refreshing.

Cask at Pigs Ear BF 2012, London. Pours clear amber with a foamy, white head. Big pine hop nose, some dark citrus - quite rich. Medium sweet flavor with continued intense pine character, ripe fruits, grass. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sticky finish, lightly abrasive bitterness, resinous pine, dirt, grass, toasted malts. Very good, though could use a bit of refining.
