Cask gravity at Nottingham BF 2007. Orangey vermillion colour with lasting beige head. Very berry. Lots of raspberry and blackberry, really lovely fruit. Proper fruit added to this. Not sour, but the fruit certainly has a kick. Base beer is good too.

Cask gravity at Nottingham BF 2007. Gold, very carbonated, definitely lagery, some tangeriney hop on aroma. Actually it’s very good. First beer on Saturday at 10.25, very light and drinkable.

Bottle. Dark bronze colour with reddish tones. Head was huge and off-white and left masses of lacing. Subtle aromas of dark chocolate, dates and roasted notes. Flavour was malty, with some coffee and a decent hoppy finish. Unusual and enjoyable.

(Cask at Priory Arms, Stockwell, London, 7 Aug 2007) Chestnut brown colour with brief head. Malty nose with dark fruit, raisins and prunes. Malty taste with notes of dark fruit, toffee and earthy hops in the finish. Was there a hint of butterscotch as well? A bit too much malt sweetness for me. As some have stated before me, a bit odd, but drinkable.

Cask gravity at Ashford Rugby Club BF 2007. Chestnut colour with lasting beige head. Odd washing up liquid lemon up front. Some good cakey fruity malt. Lemon is there, but settle down to lemon curd. Odd but strangely enjoyable.

Big white head. Yellow body. Soft, resiny pine needle aroma. Simple, but nice. Sweetish hoppy resiny pine needle taste with notes of chocolate(?!), malts, and hay. Soft, silky mouthfeel. Dry, resiny hay aftertaste. Nice, understated IPA. Good session beer, or would be, if it wasn’t too strong. (0.5l bottle from Real Ale Ltd.)

Cask at Merton Summer Beer Festival 05-07-07 Had a little snifter of this on the Thursday it had settled very well. Poured a mid brown colour with small white head. Whilst there there was a definite hoppiness to this it wasn’t quite as pronounced as I had anticipated. I enjoyed this beers simplicity there was a nice soft toffeeness to it and the hops gave it a reasonable bitterness a good easy drinking beer that I would happily have a session on but how I wish I’d have got the Chimera IPA a stunning beer in my opinion.

Golden orange coloured brew, light flowery bitter hop flavour with way too long a bitter linger.
