Dec 25, 2004 Ehh, drinkable. If treated like a mild, this beer is nice, very nice. Just don’t go expecting a west coast IPA out of this thing. Not sure if 3.8% really protected it all the way to the East Indies, but given that most beers in Britain are much weaker when served on cask and locally, I’m sure the "export" was much more potent and I’m curious to taste it, as this beer is nice, just a bit too mild.

Dec 15, 2004 Can at a british run joint in Santo Domingo. Very drinkable bitter; classic nutty taste, carbonation and mouth feel.

Dec 9, 2004 I’ve had this cask conditioned a number of times and haven’t been impressed. This time it was bottled from Sainsbury’s. Pastuerised, filtered, it should have been worse than the draught, but wasn’t. Tasted fresh, with better hop character than I remember. Little, diminishing head, medium mouthfeel, mildly bitter finish.

Nov 29, 2004 Amber colour with small off-white head. Aroma has got grassy touch, with some spices and hops. Flavor has some orange, a touch of caramel and a bitter hoppy finish.

Nov 20, 2004 not a bad beer, but certainly not a IPA! nothing special going on, kind of weak, some metallic taste .... easily drinkable but that´s about it

Nov 12, 2004 Flowery hops scent the sweet cider under...Stale resin resides in the watery body and a flat dimension overtakes everything...Hoppy vacuity is still vacuity...

Nov 10, 2004 Flowers peek out from beneath the mildly skunky aroma. Dark copper coloured with thin white head that diminishes to ring. Floral hops, some pepper... mainly fairly bland and a bit papery. Mildly effervescent. Despite all precautions taken to ensure this was sampled fresh after being hand delivered from the UK, it still seems like it’s not at it’s best. Clear bottle sampled with Lubiere, MartinT, muzzlehatch and Rastacouere.
