Cask at Lyric, Soho. It pours deep ruby with a substantial beige head. The nose is roasty, earth, toast, cocoa, juicy blackcurrant and jam. The taste is roasted malt, toast, earth, good bitterness, liquorice, varnish, toast, light resin and blackcurrant with a bitter, roasty finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty quaffable. All-round solid CDA action.

Another old tasting note from Stockbridge Tap visit. Appearance - light amber, with a lovely frothy head. Nose - fruit salad, some creamy yeasty notes too. Taste - more of the citrus and tropical fruit going on, which dominates the malt notes. Palate - medium bodied, creamy in texture with a clean but not overly sharp finish. Overall - a tasty beer.

Bottle courtesy of Baz (cheers Baz!) consumed at Eardisley, Herefordshire Friday 8th November 2013 Pours gold this one has a slight haze. Like the first one this is a little sweet initially. Comes across as a bit safe, but it is fine and certainly easy drinking. Despite the description this isn’t as crisp or hoppy as I would like. Its ok but the weakest of the three. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov12 3.0

Bottle courtesy of Baz, (cheers Baz) consumed at Eardisley, Herefordshire Friday 8th November 2013 This looks every bit an ESB. Pours copper in colour, looks good, clarity good, sweet, there is a metallicy bitterness. Solid tasting ESB, quite bitter, but also quite malty. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

Bottle courtesy of Baz, consumed at Eardisley, Herefordshire Friday 8th November 2013 Pours gold, good clarity. Initial impressions are sweet, fruity, not as hoppy as I would like however its very pleasant. Quite a good beer though I start to tire of it after a while. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Bright clear pale gold beer with a small white head. Light crisp palate. Light pale malt, touch of grain. Whisper of apple. Minerals. Hops are grassy and have noble hop like bitterness. Crisp finish. Seems a bit grainy and green, not sure this is quite right.
