Cask by hand-pump, half pint at Brigantes Bar & Brasserie. A best bitter ale, described as a dark pale ale, with a patchy, fawn-coloured head blanketing the glassware. Clear dark amber coloured body. Dark fruits and brown malts on the nose. Resinous hops and mild chocolate malts to the taste profile. Malt bitterness to the ending. Medium bodied. Nice and tasty (York 10.07.2014).

Chelmsford Summer Beer Fest. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, bubbly white head. Palate is light and a little crisp. Very nice combo of orange and lemon citrus overlaid with fresh tasting and slightly sweet zingy elderflower. Finishes light, dry and crisp. Elderflower lingers on. A fabulous summer beer.

Opaque black with red hue, small tan head, vanishes after a while but fair lacing. Aroma moderate roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, dough, brown sugar. Mild bittersweet taste; medium body, thin creamy texture, soft carbonation. Dry and mild bittersweet finish, some roastiness lingers on. Nice stout but lacks a bit real character.

500ml bottle. Clear ruby red, brown-ish colour with small, frothy, diminishing, minimally lacing, beige head. Fruity aroma, notes of red fruit, cherry, plum. Taste is dry, fruity, notes of plum; flat carbonation, slightly insipid. Nice fruity notes, but somewhat one-dimensional and flat.

Flaske 0,33l. Gift from Fin, Loz & Isobel. Thanks a lot! Drukket hjemme 17 Okt 13. Aprikosfarget. Lavt skum som blir nesten helt borte. Litt uklar. Behagelig fruktaroma. Smaken er syrlig frukt med innslag av mandler. Smaken holder seg lenge. Litt bunnfall - og veldig uklar siste kvelling.

Bottle from Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Lightly hazy, burnished copper colour. Film of off white head. Underripe fruit. Some spice. Taste is dry spice. Underlying demerara sugar sweetness. Tart, light acidic finish. Not my thing.
