Lovely hoppy beer that’s nicely bitter. YUM!! mrkimchee (1414), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 17, 2003 Colour is a little darker than the non-cask version. Aroma has more malt and hops, and the flavour has a nice hoppy bite. A nice pint indeed, makes me wish the pub wasn't so far from my house... Blasphemies (45), Ontario, Canada
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 4, 2008 Nice coppy colour. Aroma a bit hoppy. Light carbonation, served at a nice temperature. Surprised at how much fruity citrus flavor was in it with the bitter. very enjoyable. Not sure if I like this one better than the regular best bitter at the granite, both are very good. joeycapps (1466), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada

Foresty, earthy hop aroma with undertones of Ringwood yeast. Diacetyl on the palate, over which juicy hops are layered. A few breadcrusty notes are somewhere in the middle. Moderate bitterness. Slight cookie-dough notes. Light bodied and very drinkable. albert007 (412), Penobsquis, New Brunswick, Canada

Copper with frothy white head, and some green sediment..mmm. Aroma is spicy pine hops and roasty caramel malt. Nice body, smooth drinking bitter brew. Favorite from Granite.

The aroma was flowery and hoppy. Solid flavour that required some big gulps because it was so good.
