Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 9/8/07. A decent enough session beer. Aroma of dusty hops followed by a hint of biscuity malt and a bitter finish. Fine.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 9/8/07. Chris O’s comments are spot on. A reasonable if undistinguished bitter with a decent balance of hops and malt but nothing to stand out. Ok.

500 ml bottle. Almost black body with a beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee and chocolate with a little hint of liquorices, very nice. Flavor is surprisingly mild, roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. Really nice sample of a well composed beer at only 4,5% ABV.

Cask gravity at Kent BF. Pale chestnut, really nice colour with thin white head. It’s fine. It does what it says, a drinkable session bitter. Decent hop. 3/5 Re rate cask handpull at The Rake Really hoppy ofr a 3.6% beer. Tastes like a proper bitter. Bit of hop, biscuit malt. Great condition.

Cask gravity at Kent BF 07. Copper, lasting bubbly beige head. Actually a great session bitter, good malt/hop combo, hop on end was very good. Balanced and drinkable. I liked it.

Bottle. Amber-red with a slight white head. Aroma of sweet malt, red fruit and marzipan. Flavour was predominantly of redcurrants with a hoppy finish to provide balance. Excellent.

Dark amber color with good off-white head. Strong honeyish hoppy aroma. Malty but quite pale malty and hoppy, but not aggressive for IPA. Licorice notes. Light as you can expect from 3.6 % beer but ok for sessions.

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. Bottle conditioned. ABV is 6.0%. Brewed by RCH Brewery, bottled by Integrated Bottling Solutions. Amber coloured beer, huge and lasting off-white head. Pleasant hoppy and fruity aroma, also hints of toffee and oak. The flavour is fruity and malty, with a noticeable alcohol presence. Dry hops in the finish. A powerful extra strong bitter, but no session beer - one bottle is enough.
