Obtained in a trade with Brigadier. 500 ml. bottle @ home. BBF 11/2013. Batch 51. According to my bottle "Camra says that this is a Real Ale" - yay I assume. Cheap looking but cute label, featuring Hawthorn flowers, the same flowers as the cd print of “...And the Ambulance Died In His Arms” by Coil – my all-time favourite band – also from the UK. Very beautiful. Hazy amber orange brew, coffee cream head. Nose has a distinct, somewhat off smell, slightly medicinal, spoiled passion fruit, slightly off yeast, light candy sugar & malt, doesn’t seem entirely right. Taste is luckily better. Sweet, somewhat excessive yeast, malt, light sweet sugar, slightly grass hops, old dried brown bread, light plaster yeast, light floral, small flourishes of passion fruit, bitter orange peel, some hops (apparently Cascade & Bobek according to the label). Slightly yeasty but overall light body. Decent enough, enjoyable but definitely not king of the hill. Just another UK bitter I assume one in a hundred million, impossible to keep track off etc.

On gravity, at Barrow Hill Beer Festival - Clear pale golden with a white head. Fruity hops and malt in the aroma. Flavour is rather dry and citric hoppy with a hint of malt and wooden notes. Dry, hoppy finish. Rather good.

Cask handpull at KIT Sheffield. LIGHTISH brown colour. Lasting beige head. Now that is a tasty brown malty bitter. Not enough of these around these days. Not stupidly tight sparklers neither. Some leafy bettle subtle hop sting finish. Decent.bu
