Mes_and_Sim (4476), Highgate, Greater London, England Oct 24, 2007 A Sim rate (cask at Nottingham BF): Such an astringent aroma. Hoppy. Hoppy. Hoppy. Bitter. Malty.
(Sim’s. Best. Rate. Ever. - Mes) Pub (4112), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Oct 13, 2007 Cask conditioned at Oxford beer fest ’07. Hazed dark amber with no head. Fruity slightly sweet bitter, with a fuller malt than expected. A little peachy in flavour and quite short on the finish. Fin (2357), Merton, Oxfordshire, England Oct 12, 2007 Cask at Oxford beer Festival 11-10-07 Poured copper in colour, quite fruity, not as hoppy as one might expect, comes across as more of a decent fruity beer, nice juiciness, some malts to fall back on and a slow improver, not too bad but not sure this is an out and out IPA, to be honest if I hadn’t of checked it’s strength I would have been more likely to believe that this was a good honest session beer in the 4% category.
