Sep 23, 2008 bottle with ethereal. smells like walking into a hop-fest at a hospital. very very medicinal but not in a bad way. ambercolour, no head. Flavours similar to nose: dettol, hansaplast, flowers (for the nurse...), sharp, clear hops. a bit of BDSM for your tastebuds...

Apr 30, 2008 A Mes rate: bottle at Chris_O’s Ha Ha Ha Ha Gimme the Cheese Tasting.
Flat amber. Badly bottled and pretty much out of order. I didn’t find it quite so offensive as the others but it’s clearly infected.

Apr 22, 2008 Bottle @ Chris_o.
Pours amber with next-to-no head. Aroma is very soapy - very unpleasant. Clearly infected - must try again, when the issues are settled.

Apr 18, 2008 Updated: Jan 1, 2009Bottle purchased from the brewery, drunk with renffisch on 18th March 2008. Pours a dark amber with relatively little carbonation. The Brambling Cross hops give the beer a wonderful, ultra-medicinal aroma and flavour that makes it instantly recognisable. The palate is smooth and I’m really regretting only buying a half dozen bottles. I think I may have to add to this rate once I’ve drunk a few more :) Extra notes added after Eastbourne BF 2008: Challenger hops used for bittering, Bramling Cross for flavour. Roger copied this hop choice from Harveys Armada, one of his favourite beers. For the cask version "Irish Moss" is added in the copper, allowing the beer to clear without the use of finings in 3-4 days.
