Hand-pulled at the brewery this evening. Pooh. Pint of, please. Recommended this to the curious at the bar, and I’m sorry. Even more yellowy than most of Church’s increasingly lagery brews. Yeah yeah, sniff of honeyness to begin with drenched in lemony hop, musty English/continental resins and fresh leather. Smells alright. Crumbled digestives and Malted Milk. Marzipan booziness in a half-decent pencilly Czech-tasting soft lager at 4.3%. Not great.

Aug 15, 2008 Cask at the Hobgoblin, Reading. Amber with a thing ring of white head; slight aroma of honey and malt; crainy and floury to start then developing a little apricot fruit; finish is dry and slightly spicy. A very boring "lager style" beer, with little going for it.

Jun 21, 2008 Tasting notes from 2003 Harbury beer festival. Straw with thin white head. Sweet malt, honey aroma notes. Honey, caramel, and grass flavours. Watery and flat.

Sep 23, 2004 Cask conditioned at The Dun Cow, Hornton, Oxon. Strange yellow with little head. Overpowering lemony sweet malt, a little unpleasant, vanilla with caramel. Not keen.

Aug 13, 2003 Gravity Cask, Kent Beer Festival. Sulphur aroma. Soft. Some citric qualities. A bit muddy. OK. A hint of strawberry.
