[Jim shared a bottle with me - cheers!] Pours golden-amber with no head at all. Looks fizzy in the glass but isn’t in the mouth - quite a creamy mouthfeel. Herbal aroma. Caramel & butter dominates the sweet taste with a few minty herbs behind. Drinkable, but - haha - a bit of a shambles. Not sure their bottling is up to scratch.

27th April 2010. Clear dark amber beer. Low carbonation. Light semi dry palate. Toffeish malt - dry. Pretty well balanced with a little hop that’s not bitter. Toffee malt dominates a little.

Cask at the Cambridge Blue, Cambridge. Gold with a thin white head; fruity aroma with apples and pears; the taste has biscuity malts and sour fruit; then a dry lemony finish. Not bad, but not what I expect from an IPA.

Bottle that I picked up at a small grocers shop in Potton, Cambs 04-05-09 Pours reddy amber, good clarity, not much of a head. There is a slight woodiness and also tea like flavour to this, nice easy going bitterness. This is a pleasantly tasty beer, that went down very well. A6 A4 F7 P3 Ov13 3.3

[Gravity cask at Milton Keynes beerfest] A dirty bitter straw flavour. Pretty nasty, this was a bit of a struggle to drink.
