Oct 24, 2004 Cask@St Albans BF. Decidedly soapy mouthfeel. Some nuttyness and generally pretty full flavoured, but the soap gets in the way.

Oct 18, 2004 red coloured ale with small head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Flavor starts off sweet and ends with a nice dry finish.

Oct 12, 2004 Cloudy copper colour. A malty beer in the autumnal style, but I found it a bit dull. The condition may have been to blame, but it certainly didn’t come over as one of Crouch Vale’s better efforts. Cask (gravity dispense) at St Albans Beer Festival 2004.

Oct 10, 2004 Cask at the Swan in the Rushes, Loughborough. Amber colour with white frothy head, good lacing. A roasty, bitter flavour. Light bodied. Not a bad session beer.

Oct 2, 2004 Cask Conditioned @ the Saturday session, St Albans Beer Festival 2004. Beer #6. Possibly in fairly poor condition, slighly soapy and sour. Not great!

Oct 1, 2004 Updated: Oct 6, 2004From the Alex in Derby. Nice beer, not much of a Red colour to it really, more of an Auburn/Brown. Strong taste though lacking for something, maybe dry hopping would have helped brin gout the character more?

Sep 29, 2004 Cask at the Ipswich Beer Festival 2004, gravity dispense. Crouch Vale’s attempt at a red Irish style ale - not a bad try IMO. Reddish colour, malty / toffee / caramel aroma, hints of oak. Malty caramel flavour with a surprisingly hoppy bitterness. Very good. A great combo with burger & chips.
