Cask handpull at Pakenham Arms, London. Golden/copper, thin white head. Citrus minerality on aroma.l Nice hops. Bit thin in mouth, then nice drying earthy finish. Nice session bitter.

Beautiful amber color. The aroma is malty with a vanilla touch. The taste is clean, a bit malty, some caramel and a good bitterness. Strong palate, with a light fruitness as well.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet hoppy, while the flavor is sweet and primarily fruity, but also with hoppy notes and a thin body. A boring IPA.

Draught at the Cob Web Inn, Boscastle:Orangey coloured, thin fluffy head; light bitter-malty taste, light but deceptive bitter-aromatic aftertaste; all in all quite drinkable, but a bit watery........

Cask at GBBF 2005. Golden brown, some hay and diacetyl on the nose, good supping pint though with some sulphur from the Cornish water. 500ml bottle from Franglais, Calais. Filtered and pasteurised. Gold/copper colour with thick lasting off white head. Stale malt, some citrus grassy hops on aroma. Overly carbonated. Some metallic candy sugar flavours in mouth. Finishing hop is crisp and rather nice. Pasteurisation doesn’t help with this beer, but the hop is good. Some creamy vanilla too in the flavour. 5 3 6 3 11

Cask gravity at Kent beer festival. Normally a favourite of mine, but this was very bland and uninteresting. No real hop or malts to overly mention. 500ml pasteurised bottle. Crystal clear deep copper colour with lasting beige head. Boiled sweet aroma and caramel, malt and a bit of hop. I like this on draught, but this lacks the depth in the mouth. Green hoppy finish is very good. Would be better if it didn’t have that hollowness in the middle due to the pasteurisation 3.2

Cask (gravity dispense), White Cliffs Beer Festival, February 2005. Typical taste of Sharp’s if you have had Doom Bar or Cornish Coaster, but this obviously had more of an alcoholic kick. Very good strong bitter

[Cask at GBBF 2004] An orange beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet flowery, while the flavor is sweet malty, as well as slightly fruity with a dry flowery end. The body is thin.

Amber color. Simple aroma with some malt and honey, but a more interesting flavor, with some good malt and a better aromatic hopping, that leads to a pleasant final.

Bottle - Sweet berry and malt aroma. Reddish brown color with light tan head. Moderate hop bitterness with a slightly sweet raspberry flavor. A nice beer. Cask just as nice.
