Cask at the Birmingham Beer Bash 2013. Poured a clear light straw colour with a bubbly white head. The aroma is dry malt and yeast leading to a medium to weak bitter flavour with some spice and pepper on the watery palate. The bitterness wasn’t pleasant. Didn’t really hit the mark.

Cask at the Birmingham Beer Bash 2013. Poured a cloudy light amber with a round glass-hugging head. The aroma is rich dry dusty alcohol and malt. The flavour is medium to strong bitter, alcoholic, liqourice and with some hints of red berry fruit and malt in the finish. The ABV is high but the alcohol is well controlled.

Rake. Keg. Hazy amber beer, tidy pale cream coloured head. Palate is smooth and soft. Smooth and light creamy malt with a nice caramel and toffee streak. Bitter hops, just a touch of dried fruits. Smooth finish with a strong bitter linger. Comes together well. Dunno about IPA - feels like an ’Imperial Bitter’. Nice work!
