Nov 30, 2008 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Gold. Odd aroma, quite restrained, of slightly burnt buttered toast. Taste isn’t appealing: hay and straw backed by a nasty plastic tang. Bit like natural gas. Slight bitterness. Some low alcohol lagers are a bit like this. I think Adnams should have ensured ’the UK’s first Carbon Neutral beer’ tasted good.

Nov 28, 2008 <i>Cask Conditioned at The Bree Louise, London</i>
Hazy blond color, creamy head (some nitro in the pump). Simple aroma, even smells of dirty water. The flavor is quite grassy, with light cereals, unfortunately there is this disturbing <i>dirty water feeling</i>. The final has a light pleasant cookie crispness, but too much bitter for this beer. Maybe not so bad, but it doesn’t please my taste.

Oct 27, 2008 A Mes rate: cask at the Union in Baker Street.
Nice condition with a decent white head but it’s such a bollocks pissy yellow colour that it gets a two. Slightly metallic aroma that is very dusty and old smelling. Very odd note of butane gas. Maybe this doubles up as a propellant. Faint malt and hops loitering without intent in the background. Similar flavour but a little worse. No flavour, no character, really watery, poor effort. Minimum carbon impact equates to arse, obviously.
