Frog & Toad Gillingham. The Frog & Toad offers too many beers for a backstreet pub, and the woman serving through a swan neck kept allowing the beer to be sucked back up resulting in an agitated beer and a bit of vinegar gained no doubt from some stale beer in the pipes. The beer is very pale and lacking in substantial character. Mild citric tones and a bit of soft fruit. Dull on this evidence.

Oct 21, 2007 Cask gravity at Nottingham BF 2007. Copper, thin lasting bubbly beige head. Slightly yeasty, decent light bitter, in good condition, fine, interesting for a light bitter.

Apr 26, 2007 2pt cardboard takeout from The Merchant, Rugby. Honeyish amber pour sniffing mustily. Stinks of hops a good 2hrs after the pour. The weakest but possibly the best of the 10 or so beers I’ve sampled tonight at The Merchant Fest, Rugby. Wet straw, honey, biscuity malt, ammonia. An undeniable waft of bunny hutch. In the nicest sense. Delicate, tea-like hoppiness. Flavour-packed sessions with a moreish malt-hop balance.

Apr 9, 2007 Served slightly warm in the tennents bar. Aroma was minimal but sweet pale malts and floural hop were to be found. Taste was similarly minimal but drinkable with some fruit character of th dark kind.

Oct 16, 2006 Half pint n cask. Amber body without any sign of head. Light hints of dried, dark fruit in both aroma and taste. Slightly bitter finish. Rather dull bitter (The Ribs of Beef, Norwich 26.09.2006).
