Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - GBBF2008. A dark copper coloured beer with a decent fruity hoppy aroma. The taste is also nice and hoppy. Quite English hops. Signs of freshness diminishing, and attempts at over complication but still ok.

Cask@GBBF08. Orangeish amber colour, not much head. Aroma is sour fruit and wood along with some mild grassyness and yeast. Flavour is wood, grass and yeast. Finish is a bit bittery. Dry palate.

Cask at GBBF 08. It’s got that washing up water flavour some American beers have. Yeasty, earthy. Just very very odd.

Cloudy amber with tiny off white head. Sweet fruity aroma with floral hops. Sweet flavor with caramel and mild hoppy notes leading it to a bitter end.

Tap at Barcade: Copper pour topped by an off-white head. Nose has some caramel/crystal malt notes and a mild/sweet citrus note. The flavor as some soft caramel notes along with a nutty hint in the background. The finish is mildly bitter and has a hint of orangey fruitiness. A decent Bitter Ale.
