Oct 1, 2007 Bottle conditioned, from the brewery. Another strong beer from this idiosyncratic brewery from a small town in Yorkshire. Hazy amber colour. A little too much bubblegum and candy sugar in the aroma. Fair amount of hop in the flavour but could do with a bit more malt to provide extra body. Rather hot, alcoholic mouthfeel. In a fairly light bodied, sweetish beer the alcohol burn is rather too intrusive. Interesting but not their best effort.

Sep 24, 2007 Bottle at Chris_O’s. Golden with a thin white head. Lemony hops in the nose with a sweet malt and citrus hop flavour. Not great.

Sep 22, 2007 Bottle (500ml). Shared with chris_o, mes_and_sim, harrisoni, reakt and duff - via chris_o. Orange-amber, slightly hazy, with a small fast-disappearing frothy head. Slightly sour aroma, little bit of apricot, fairly mild alcohol for 9% - maybe perfume hops; maybe. The taste is sour, tacky and papery, with a hint of apple and iron - two of my favorite things; ahem. Thick, hard to choke down body, definitely rusty aftertaste - I really didn’t like it. But the Farrelly Brothers DO give good commentary, Ian. I think I need help.

Sep 22, 2007 Bottle drunk at Chris_o’s HogTownHarry meet up. Very hazy, lasting bubbly beige head. Fairly sickly aroma. Some hop. Sickly, alcoholic. "Farrelly Brothers give really good commentary," from Harry. Peach fruit. Earthy. Poorish.
