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.

Oct 10, 2009 Draught. Clear brown with some head. Little aroma. Medium body and carbonation. Tangy spicy foretaste with reasonable bitter aftertaste perhaps a little harsh. Nice beer.

Jan 2, 2009 Cask at The Grid Inn, Southfields during "Spoons Fest in a Day" crawl, 2nd Nov 08. Clear amber with a lively, lacy head. Light & drinkable palate. Quite nutty malt taste. You can tell it is a GK beer. Ok, but not inspiring.

Aug 7, 2008 Cask. Golden colour, mediumsized beige foamy head. Aroma is fudge, some hops and mild notes of yeast. Interesting hopcombination in the aroma. Flavour is fruity and sour woodenness along with some mild grassyness.

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 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.
