Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Russet-brown with a thick beige head. Rich and warming in the mouth. Tastes of toffee, rich malt, dark fruits, muscovado sugar, rum and a little earthy straw. Sweetish yet with just enough hop presence to balance it and make it dangerously drinkable. Full-flavoured, yet mellow, smooth and very more-ish, this is easily the best I've had from Rebellion. Excellent stuff, and one of the very few UK winter/Christmas cask beers I've had in recent years that is actually right for the season. Well done Rebellion!

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. A bright amber pour with a loose white head; fruity orange aroma; surprisingly fresh and fruity in the mouth with orange and cranberry; becoming quite dry with a light bitterness; and a zesty finish. A rather good Gold, much better than the mass-market attempts.

Keg at the brewery. A pale amber pour with a ring of white head; floral, grainy aroma; sweet grassy taste witha touch of lime. A pleasant craft lager, certainly good on a hot summers day.

On tap at the brewery. A bright amber pour with a ring of white head; malty aroma with a hint of spice; sweet caramel taste with a malty body; then a biscuity finish, slightly sour and spicy. Certainly tasting like a Scottish beer.

7th Sep 2017: half-pint from a polly-pin at a hop event in Worcestershire. Red hue to this brown coloured brew, beige head. I got the nuts, not too sure they were roasted ones though. Malts dominate this beer, so was surprised when I tasted it because of the place I tried it at. Liked it though!
