[500ml bottle from The Little Beer Shop, Blofield, Norfolk] Mid-gold, almost no head, moderate carbonation, particularly large, lumpy sedimentation. Everything is dusty hay and straw, with the odd bit of green grassiness - it’s like standing next to a threshing machine. Although there’s some refreshing sharpness there, there is little of the citrus flavour you’d normally associate with the style. Finishes with mild bitterness and more dust leading into a very dry sourness.

Cask gravity at St Albans BF 2007. Copper colour with an almost disappeared head. English hop aroma. Lots of English hop, watery in mouth though. In fact unpleasant moutfeel, good English hop harsh finish. I can’t remember having a beer that made me wretch as I drank it, even though in no way is there anything wrong with it. More or less has to go down as undrinkable. I had to pour it away.
