Cask gravity at Rare Breeds BF 06. Very deep chestnut, thin disappearing off white head. Richish malt and hop aroma. Smooth and malty in mouth, bit of sourness. OK, bit dull 2.8/5 Re-rate, cask gravity at Butcher’s Arms, Herne. Badged as BSA (Butcher’s Special/Supreme Ale). Very deep chestnut colour, some white head. It’s got a kind of sourness, some blackberry fruit. Dark fruit aroma, rich malt, but agile too in mouth. Then the finish is like a porter or stout. Really rather stunning and almost un-pigeon-hole-able

Cask handpull at Yew Tree Inn, Barfrestone. Brown/chestnut colour. Ginger aroma with hops. Bit of lemon, ok in mouth, dry finish with more ginger nut biscuit type flavour. Fine, if a little too gingery

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A hazy orange beer with a small beige head. The aroma contains notes of honey and brewmash - pretty much like being in a brewhouse while brewing. The flavor is sweet spicy with some notes of honey and flowers. The mouthfeel is slightly sticky.

Cask gravity at Kent BF. Dark gold, some goodish citric hop nose. Not a bad session citric hoppy ale. 3/5 Re-rate Cask handpull at Evening Star, Brighton. Pale copper colour with lasting off white head. Lovely soft hoppy session bitter. Some tangerine fruit. Grassy citric tangerine finish. Some yeast on aroma. Some citrus hop, juicy fruit in mouth, satsuma, then nice candied satsuma fruit finish. Impressive. The orange fruit is stunning. Great tangy hop finish. One of the best session beers I’ve had in years.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] A yellow beer with no head, and a really weird aroma, that I’d describe as that of fish. The flavor is sweet hoppy combined with notes of caramel.
