Mar 30, 2008 The Exeter Arms, Barrowden (brewed out back). Red amber. More rounded and less spiky than the ’Beech’. Mellow leafy hop and citrus aroma. A bit thin and lacking in hop aromatics, but assertive presence in a dry finish. Shampoo again. Some almost rum-like grainy alcohol notes. Pretty good, but the Hop Gear is better.

Mar 20, 2008 Cask at the Leicester Beer Festival. Excellent in both flavour and aroma. A very earthy beer, almost mushroomy in flavour. I liked it so much I had it twice.

Mar 15, 2008 Cask at the Leicester Beer Festival. This was the 1st place bitter of the festival and it is very good indeed. It’s a nice amber colour, with a full-on fruity aroma. The flavour is full, rich and balanced with earthy malt and some sweetness but plenty of sharp bitterness from the hops. Richly deserving of its win, this is a beer I hope to encounter again.
