On tap at the Hinds Head, Bray, Berkshire, 08-08-09 on leg seven of the Thames Tipple. After the initial shock of paying £4.20 a pint I sat down to rate this. Pours mid-gold with a white head. Some cereal on the nose, tangy and fruity with bitterness and touch sweet but not bad. A6 A3 F6 P3 Ov12 3.0

Thanks Phil. Slightly hazy dull straw. Some malt on the nose, with light glue notes. Very sweet, honeyish in its softness. Interesting. Very sweet, not heavy though, with a light almost junipery berry note.

WSF 2009, thanks to Phil. Golden with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, bread crust, phenols, and banana and bubblegum esters. Sweet banana, malt and honey flavour. A touch of alcohol. It’s wheat, it’s strong and it’s English! How unique!

Clear, blond body. Nice aroma of hops, vanilla and honey. Moderately sweet, lightly bitter flavour with some vanilla. Well balanced good flavour.

75cl Bottle at Chris o New Year tasting 08/09. Thanks to Phil l for getting us this. Deep ruby colour. Lovely dark choc and whisky aroma. Very good aroma. Less good in mouth, some moreello cherry fruit, black forest gateau. Good aroma, just a little thin in the mouth, finish has more milk choc and cherry. Wood does come through. Cherry fruit lifts the beer.

[Lovibonds Brewery Shop, Henley] Pours brown-black with a thick white head - a nice looking beer. Despite apparently being made from the Lovibonds Henley Dark, it bears little resemblance to it. The smell and taste are a somewhat surprising mix of treacle and straw, with the treacle rather dominant. After a while a sour whisky taste emerges - whatever whisky barrels they are using to age this, I think they need to find better ones! Finish is quite smooth with hints of vanilla and toffee but a very sticky mouthfeel. Its OK, but I was hoping for better.
