(Bottle 50 cl) Pretty, deep orange - gets more and more hazy towards the end. No head and almost completely flat. Presumably sort of a ginger wheat beer. Distinct ginger bite and a marked bitterness. But quite refreshing. An odd bird indeed. 300601

Cask handpull at County Hotel JDW, Ashford. Hazy pale gold colour with lasting beige head. Peardrops, lemon on nose. OK in mouth, some muddy malt. Zippy, tangy hop, citrus finish. Not sure its supposed to be like this, but it is quite nice all the same

An amber beer with a huge beige head. The aroma is very hoppy - going towards citrus and spices. The flavor is malty, bisquity, and quite hoppy, leading to a very dry bitter hoppy end - that is almost spicy.

Deep golden color, rich syrupy nose with brandy and herbs. The mouth feels dead. Starts malty then into more hops, but the beer has gone bad so it has an odd mouthfeel. The finish is a huge off puttingly bitter that you get when a bottle condition beer goes off, though I can see the potential there.

A very opaque head on top of a pitch black brew. Huge roasted mallt nose with charcol and ink (yuk too much for me). Starts off very roasted, then some ink and almost acidic mouthfeel and very faint milk chocolate and a dry roasted finish.
