Ill hook up from Irish Boy @ RBSG’09 Grand Tasting, 500mL bottle. The appearance is muddy thick red with a sticky khaki head. The beer is light aceto with light earthy vegetal. Not so vegetal in the flavor but more than just musky malts. This is not so different in certain Flanders Red style beers. A bit corny and musky at the same time. Has a nicely thicker body with a tingling carbonation. Works well, nothing spectacular but cool and decent stuff.

Very mild bitterness that sticks in the mouth after the sip. Some citrus leaning towards grapefruit, very nice.

nice robust yet discreet taste. Some hops in the fore with a subdued dry bitter finish. There's also some tea and a type of herbal presence

A golden IPA with a thick dark off white head. A very interesting resinous hops aroma, meaty, and herbal. In mouth, loads of oily malt with resinous hops, very British, with grainy qualities, earthy. Medium to rich bodied, a wack in the face. Bottle from JesseM. Thanks dear Sir!

This IPA poured a really nice rust colour with a big bold off white head. To the nose there are scents of pineapple, hopps, oranges and dough. First taste was very hoppy with strong citrus flavours. Grapefruit and orange citrus flavours mostly noted. Sharp hopps but not overpowering flavour. The finish is bitter with the citurs flavours lingering. Palate is fruity with the bitterness lingering.
