Pours deep amber into a thistle. Fluffy pancake head with good retention. Sweet and crisp caramel and bread upfront with a dry, powdery finish.

Cask@GBBF2008. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity and flowery hops along with some earth and bread. Flavour is flowery hops, some mild eggyness, saltwater and mild wood. Pleasant and balanced. Mild eggyness in finish, mixed with wood and grass.

Bottle from John’s Marketplace in Portland, OR. Hazy golden color with a nice white head. Aromas of pale malt and fruity esters. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is bitter hop over grain and malt. It’s all about the bitter - which is not over the top, but quite bitter. I’d guess about 60 IBU or better. We’re not talking malty ESB here. It’s a very good ale.

Pours deep amber into an English pint. Offwhite pancake head with good retention leaves sheet lacing as it recedes to skim surface. Caramel aromas. Roasted caramel and pit fruit, slightly thin and tinny in the middle with a lasting smoked bitter finish.

Lia Fail is dark reddish brown beer with medium blond head. Aroma is great: sweet malts, nice fruits and roasted malts. Flavour is slightly sweet, little roasted and flavour changes quicly to more bitter. Nice to drink despite of quite low alcohol procent. Pleasant hops finds aroma and flavour but otherwise too boring and Lia Fail would need something else to make this more interesting and then we would speak to top beer.

Cask, Bow Bar, Edinburgh. Brown with an off white head. Some malt, caramel and fruit in the aoma. Body is on the thin side (and I don’t dig anorexics man) Flavour has a sourness which spoiled this for me. Can’t see why this rates so high. Fail indeed.

Slightly cloudy golden beer with medium white head. Aroma is fruity and very temptating and reminds me for Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Lot of hops is found in the flavour and taste is fruity and pleasant but changes slightly musty in the end. Easy to drink but nicely balanced. Cascade hops -lovers beer with fruity aromas and flavours.
