Dec 11, 2009 Cask, Lion, Liverpool. Golden, with a thin white head. Lightly fragrant aroma. Some citrus evident with the caramel maltiness in the flavour ; some hops evident towards the finish which was dryish. Low key, yet drinkable. Not really a wintery beer as such, but relatively flavoursome for a 4percenter.

Jan 1, 2008 Cask conditioned at The Market Porter, Borough, London. Gold amber with white head. Floral dry and fruity bitter, with the accent towards maltiness, although there is a hint of hoppiness in the shortish bitter finish. Never really gets going enough, fairly average.

Dec 20, 2007 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Gold. Some sweet malt in the aroma and taste, but basically a hoppy golden ale, utterly devoid of Christmas cheer.

Mar 16, 2007 Cask@Pigs ear BF 06. Quite boring. Some light grassy characters come through, but thats about it. In my notes i’ve written the word boring about 4 times.

Dec 31, 2006 Pigs Ear. Hoppy and pale malt. Fairly assertive for the strength. A beer that’s kicking out to be noticed, but not doing enough to impress when people do start paying attention. Lingering bitterness.

Dec 13, 2006 Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Pigs Ear BF. A golden coloured beer. The aroma has some gloopy sticky smelling hops but a touch of diacetyl. The taste is like the aroma. Also over sweet and a bit too much toffee flavours in the mouth. A touch cloying, but does show signs of good brewing coming through. An enigma.
