GBBF Day 3. Bright clear gold beer. Small white head. Smooth palate with a little fine carbonation. Unusual beer - strong taste of banana bread. Light touches of bubblegum ester and floral notes. Bit this is mostly well made banana bread! Light finish. These Craft Brewery beers are inventive and good fun!

Bottled. An amber beer with an orangey head. The aroma has notes of caramel, malt, and spicy hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and spicy hops, leading to a biiter finish.

Cask at GBBF 2013. It pours deep brown with a small beige head. The nose is chinese-style sticky pork, bacon frazzles, light sweetness, soy sauce and toasted sesame. The taste is smokey bacon, frazzles, sticky pork, earth, mild acidity, soy and sesame. Medium body, fine carbonation and oily mouth-feel. Surprisingly it actually works. Fun to try. Nice work Brains!

GBBF Day 1. Opaque dark brown beer, little pale tan head. Smell like a barbeque! Light dry palate, modest carbonation. Light malt with what tastes like smoky bacon crisps but without that artificial twang you get from flavouring, here it’s natural. Smooth finish. Very different and kudos to Brains form trying this. A real fun beer!

Bottle picked up by my dad Consumed at home Sunday 17.08.13 cheers dad! Copper in colour with off-white head. I have to start by saying that I am mot picking up much in the way of spirit, however oak and vanilla do come through. It isn’t overly hoppy or in even in the same league as many of the very good UK craft IPA’s but by the same token it ain’t bad. It comes across as a more rustic IPA, caramel lingers, bitterness is moderate, hops a little earthy. Fine and better than many very average beers to be found in the supermarket aisle of Sainsburys I guess. A6 A3 T7 P3 Ov13 3.2

Cask at GBBF ’13, cheers to Ken for split, 13/08/13. Hazedorange amber with a thin white swirl atop the glass. Nose is tangy orange, lemon rind, light spice, grass. Taste comprises grass, orange pith, citrus notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry finish. Ok representation of the style and probably the best offering I’ve had to date from Brains’ craft arm!
