Cask at the Moon in the Square, Bournemouth. Dark amber pour, with no real head or lace. No big aroma, but this ale is certainly packed full of flavour and it grew on me the more I drank and the warmer it got. The complex hoppy bitterness dominates this ale and there isn't much else it has to be said, but that alone is enough for me. If I'd brewed this myself I'd be well pleased, so I guess that's the best compliment I can give this beer! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottled@chriso. Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, caramelly, mild floral notes as well as quite nectary and sweet. Flavour is fruity, wooden, mildly vanillaish with some slight earthyness. Nice floral and berryish aftertaste.

Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. Almost the end of the barrel, and not very impressive. Pouring a slightly hazy amber with a scummy head; and an earthy aroma; an earthy flavour too, with some sweet biscuity malts; and a dry, estery, finish. Very average.

A brown 500ml bottle of ’Traditional Pilsner’ from a small independant English brewer? Best before the end of Nov 2008, two days away when opened. I poured the bottle two and a half times into one of my Veltins Pilsner glasses. Almost looks like a Pilsner, a slight haze but golden yellow. Not the normal carbonisation either, no bubbles rising up the body. The white head not as bright or full as a true Pilsner. However it still looks OK. An aroma which reminds you of lagers/pilsners but with added yeast, some hops and grapefruit hints. The taste is interesting, a mix of Pilsner and UK Pale Ale flavours. There is a citrus feel within the taste also, not a sour lemon or lime, but something is in there. There is a body and fullness to this beer, half Ale, half Pilsner. It seems to work, not sure how or why, but it does. I liked this hybrid beer and would have it again if we crossed paths.
