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.

Keg at the Cock Tavern, London. Pours murky gold with no head - looks pretty awful, to be honest. Thankfully I learned early in life to not judge beers by their covers and, as such, I soldiered. Thankfully, my efforts were rewarded in that this was a decent beer. The aroma is mellow and holds straw and light grapefruit. Light sweet flavor with decent bitterenss, dry citrus and grass, more grapefruit, hay. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly dry to finish with faint minerals, dry grapefruit, straw. The appearance of this beer was pretty dire, but if you just close your eyes it’s fine.
