Bottle at Tilleys, Newcastle on 27 July 2013. Poured black with a dense beige head. Aroma of burnt malt, but with acrid acidic notes. Roasted malt and coffee flavours, but mouth feel wasn’t as thick as I had hoped. Slight sour note of the palate, but mostly more coffee and bitter chocolate.

Cask gravity at Kent BF 2013. Hazy gold lasting white head. Soapy hoppy beer. It’s ok some interesting hop flavour. Some kind of antipodean hop I guess. Interesting.

Keg at Bow Bar. Golden steady bubbles with a thin cremay head. The nose has peaches and gentle malt. Perhaps some citrus. The taste has honey and orange blossom. Some citrus tang on the end. The palate is light to medium in body and texture. Slightly over carbonated dry finish. Tasty but slightly unbalanced.

On tap @ the Stockbridge Tap. Pours clear and golden - the head disappears fairly quickly. The nose has a touch of citrus but mainly it’s green beans and sweetcorn. The taste has more of the same. The palate is as expected, fairly one dimensional but at least very refreshing. Not a bad lager.
