Oct 10, 2005 Cask@St Albans Beer Festival. Slightly sulfuric tendencys, but nicely hoppy and dry citrus orange characters, and some slightly leafy hops characters, decent but uninspiring.

Oct 5, 2005 Cask (gravity dispense), St Albans Beer Festival 2005. Standard amber colour. Some lemony citric notes in the aroma. Very assertive bitterness, verging on aggressive. Lasting dry, bitterness on the finish and in the aftertaste. Austere and acerbic. I actually quite like this style of bitter, even if softy Silk doesn’t.

Oct 3, 2005 Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - St Albans BF. A copper coloured beer with some dry bittering orange aromas. The taste is more of the same - very bitter indeed, feels like orange pulp with has had the juice sucked out of it. Also seems stronger in alcohol than the 4.5%. Interesting.

Oct 3, 2005 St Albans. Gravity. Hoppy and dry and very bitter finish. Extreme. Nasty. I’m not a fan of Ballards beers.
