haddonsman (1214), Derby, Derbyshire, England Feb 23, 2005 Cask at Alexandra Hotel, Derby. Quite sprightly and light, hoppy. Drinkable but glad I only had a half. Bit thin and slightly barnyardy. DeepBlack (387), Derby, Derbyshire, England Jan 12, 2005 Cask Conditioned & on Hand Pump from The Alex in Derby. With a sparkler.
Very light coppery brown colour.
Slightly iffy aroma. Very hoppy & bitter. Lots of grass & country notes in there. chriso (4434), London, Greater London, England Jun 16, 2004 A hoppy little number. Regulation pale amber colour. Quite good balance and slips down easily. A good session bitter. Cask (gravity), Thurrock Beer Festival.
Spiesy (2333), Global Citizen, Greater London, England Jun 6, 2004 <i> Cask Conditioned, at the Thurrock Beer Festival. </i><br />Amber body with slight frothy white head. Big, forward hoppy aroma, what you’d expect from an IPA. Slightly thin but makes a perfect refreshing session beer. You could drink 10 pints of this happily. SilkTork (3959), Rochester, Kent, England Jun 3, 2004 Bright bottled @ Thurrock Fest. Fresh notes: "Clean, light, refreshing session bitter with hints of toffee and twigs. Score 2.8" More of the aroma comes through today - a pleasant smokey quality. A decent brew.
