Nov 27, 2008 [Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading.] Gold with a dense white head that leaves good lacing; smooth and creamy, slightly sour and dry, then some sweet malts and a light dry spicy finish. Restrained and rather elegant.

Nov 21, 2008 Cask at ’Spoons, Milton Keynes, in Wetherspoons Festival ’08. Amber with a small white head. Odd aroma, vegetal, sweet and spicy. The same sort of thing in the taste. At the end a little sourness leads into a mid bitter finish. To be perfectly honest I quite liked it.

Oct 13, 2008 A Mes rate: cask at a JDW somewhere.
Clean golden brown with a thin white head. Slightly sweet malty nose with some faint estery notes. Dusty malt flavour with a fruity bite on the finish and a very faint lick of bitterness. Typically bland and unimaginative offering from GK.

Oct 10, 2008 GBBF, Trade Day, 2008 Cask. Very hoppy - dry dusty English hops. Best bitter but with an autumnal edge - crystal malt. Malt is a little greasy, but an OK beer. For some reason I can’t remember I got quite excited about this and urged others to try it - but everyone just sipped it and shrugged, saying it was just an ordinary British bitter.
