Cask (handpump) @ The Star Inn, Huddersfield, England. @ [ The Star Inn Summer Beer Festival ]Clear medium to dark yellow color with a average to large, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, moderate hoppy, grass, lemon. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet with a long to average duration, and a big ginger - chilli - peppery after burn. Aroma was okay but the flavor is way to much chilli for me almost undrikkeble, and the chilli finish has a very long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20090716]

RBESG Sheffield 2009 at the Star Inn in Huddersfield, cask. Clear pale golden colour, white head. Aroma of malts, bit of citrus and pepper. Flavour is a little malty, some citrus and a lot of pepper upon swallowing. Leaves a sore throat. Too sharp.

Cask at the Queenโs Head, Chelmsford, Essex on 27th Aug 2008. Amber coloured premium bitter. A balance of malt and hop sways quickly to the latter with grassy hop flavours abounding through the kick and finish with a very satisfying combination of mouthfeel and herby hop delicately softened by the malt presence. Delicious.

Cask-conditioned at the Market Porter, Southwark 09/06/09. Pale gold in colour with a slight white head. Aroma of grapefruit and lemon grass. Flavour began with grapefruit hops before the chillies kicked in. These were initially pleasantly warming, but came to totally dominate with plenty of raw heat and little else. The after taste was very long - I could have done with some yoghurt. Way too extreme for me.
