Cask gravity at Reading BF 2007. Very hazy, lasting bubbly beige head. Sweet grape juice. Green apple, not ready yet maybe. Too sweet, syrupy. There is hop there, but needs to have another day or so in cask.

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet 07. Pale gold with thin white head. Very appley, but not green apple as in not ready. Odd, citric, fruity, some juiciness. Like a fruit beer really. 3.0/5 Re-rate Twickenham Brewery tasting 08. It’s a pretty good citrusy blond ale. It’ ok, pleasant if not stunning.

The flavor is sweet with notes of chocolate and roasted malt - though it isnโt leaving any dryness. the mouthfeel is smooth but a bit thin.

Cask conditioned at Merton Beer Festival 17-02-07. I was really looking forward to this beer having heard so much about it and the plaudits it has received. I thoroughly enjoyed it although much like the Amarillo I think there was a part of me that expected it to be even better than it was. This beer poured a very dark brown colour and was almost without a head. There were some bitter coffee notes but not as much as I anticipated. The taste was smoother than I expected with some dryness although it was also quite smooth in a stout kind of way, coffee and roasted notes were the major taste characteristics of this beer but it was a little more complex than that and developed the more that you got into it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and whilst it was slightly different to how I would normally expect a mild to be, it was quite different to some of the more robust strong milds that are really just teetering on the egde of what most people would normally accept at being a mild. Very good.
