JohnC (1735), Mission Viejo, California, USA Jun 1, 2008 thanks to jcwattsrugger for sharing at noogfest 2008. clear golden brew with a soft mouthfeel and a nice malty flavor
Sigmund (1900), Hafrsfjord, Norway Aug 18, 2008 Cask at the CBBF 2008, gravity dispense. ABV was 5.5%. Golden brown colour, no head. Fruity mild aroma and flavour, notes of blackcurrant and raspberry leaves. Low bitterness. cgarvieuk (2302), Edinburgh, Scotland Aug 17, 2008 Cask, GBBF 08... ambercoloured light haze ... fruity light hop ... malty fruity soft bitterness... harrisoni (5109), Ashford, Kent, England Aug 15, 2008 Cask gravity from GBBF 08. Hazy amber. No head. Is it an alt? No not really. Too much American hop. Little bit of sourness. maeib (3917), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Aug 14, 2008 Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - GBBF 2008. A copper coloured beer with some whitish bubbles for a head. This is a nicely hoppy beer with citrus and pine notes. Just a touch of woodiness sets it apart from being an APA. I liked this a lot. Immy (1547), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Aug 12, 2008 12 oz bottle jcwattsrugger was kind enough to let me steal at the Richmond Summer Gathering. Labeled as "Colonel Blides Cask Ale". Hazy amber with a beige head. Sweet caramel and citrus (tangerine?) nose. Nice earthy flavors, floral bite, caramel and citrus. Fairly clean, lightly bitter finish. Nice.
