Cask@Beer Hunters. Pale yellow.golden, small white head. Flowery hoppy nose. Earthy, yeasty, medium-body. Slight bitterness, not really hoppy bitterness but alcoholic, which makes palate quite unbalanced. Good hoppy aftertaste, but otherwise quite bland. Maybe not in top condition - yet.

Bottle picked up at The Grog Shop, Oxford, 17-08-06.Poured amber coloured, maybe I’m being a bit harsh but much like the last beer of Burton Bridge’s that I tasted (Tickle Brain) this one has that same harsh alcohol taste, ok so it’s not quite as rough as the Tickle Brain but it’s still there and for me it takes the shine off what I know is a well brewed and probably quaility beer. Not particularly hoppy, little bit sticky, this beer has a lot going for it but it needs the edges smoothing off.

50 cl bottle brought over from England by a friend. Label sais "Burton Empire Pale Ale". Shady orange color with a huge white to tan lasting creamy head. Fresh hoppy a bit fruity scent, very refreshing with a clear apricot touch to it, could be some Chinook hops in there. Hoppy and sweet taste with a hint of alcohol. Medium high bitterness. Normal mouthfeel. Fresh and bitter aftertaste. It’s does not have enough kick though! It needs more bitterness and more hoppy taste to make it better!

Cask. Fruity aroma. Clear golden colour, small frothy white head. The flavour is refreshingly citric, fruity and a bit earthy. Slightly above average bitterness, a little rough. OK summer ale.

(Cask at Ship & Mitre, Liverpool, 24 July) Colour is very dark brown (not really black, but almost) with ruby notes, thick lasting beige head. Beautiful! Nose is roasted with chocolate, dark fruit and distinct notes of earthy/dusty hops. Taste is roasted and malty with tobacco, chocolate pudding, perfectly balanced sweetness and a nice hoppy finish. This beer can be a bit uneven, but this one was in almost perfect condition. Very nice!

500ml Bottle picked up at the Grog shop, Jericho, Oxford 29-07-06. This poured a wonderful red, almost looked like a deep rich claret, no head to speak of. Fruity and almost rum like aroma, tasted fruity and malty but I found the alcohol to be a little harsh. Whilst I am impressed with the effort and imagination that has gone into this I’m not sure that it is a particularly good example of its type. I struggled with it a bit.
