May 10, 2009 Nitro beige head over a ruby-red body. Smell of grassy hops with notes of grapefruits. Modest flavour of dark fruits sustained by spices and earthy malts. Quite light in the aftertaste, but fine mouthfeel (half, well-kept cask ale at Thomas Rigbys in Liverpool, 04.05.2009).

Apr 25, 2009 (Cask at Crosse Keys JDW, London City, 16 Apr 2009) Chestnut colour with ruby hints. Foamy, beige head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of crystal malts and wild berries (raspberries, cowberries). Malty, fruity taste with wild berries and a nice, tangy, citrussy bittermess in a fairly dry finish. Nice one.

Apr 23, 2009 Hinckley Spoons. Pale chestnut with a slick ivory collar. Almost imperceptible leafy citrus aroma. Very understated but unmistakeable single varietal tang of Amarillo, silky fresh condition, whirls of lace, soapdish licks. Some caramel and biscuit, dry roasted nuts. Wheat-like linger. Solid, discreetly citrussy bitter.

Apr 15, 2009 Cask at Pilgrims Progress, Bedford (JDW) in ’Spoons Real Ale Festival, April ’09. Amber with a small white head. Very faint malt in the aroma. Taste is earthy and nutty with a little grass in the aftertaste and a mid bitter finish. This was very lively, which detracted from its appeal. Nevertheless an elderly gentleman opined that it was the only decent beer in the pub, and he may have had a point.
