Magic_dave6 (4012), London, Greater London, England Sep 20, 2007 Bottle at ronnie’s, bottle conditioned. Aroma is citrus, hop resins, grassy malt and nutty malts. Taste is a similar bag of tricks, a very bitter finish. oh6gdx (6334), Vaasa, Finland Aug 29, 2007 Cask@GBBF2007. Amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is wooden, caramelly and slightly fruitish hoppy. Flavour is wooden, roasted, slightly leathery and some sourish notes. Dry grassy bittery aftertaste. M0RHI (1026), Luxembourg, Luxembourg Aug 14, 2007 Cask, GBBF 2007. Murky gold, no head. Nose is caramely biscuit malt. Mouth is bitter bite then caramel biscuity. Finishes dry and hint of malt. Bit crap.
