Feb 7, 2008 Bottled, from Sound Bites, Derby. Derby’s premier organic food store with plenty of organic beer, a decent Pitfield range as well as stuff from Marble and others. Second in the bottle-raiding session tonight. Not bad; slight citric aroma, buttercup-puckering hops that soon subside, lacks that certain ba-da-BING! that I’ve come to love from IPAs.

Dec 5, 2007 Cask 78 Ultimate Glasgow tasting afters pub crawl: Poured an amber with a tan color head. The aroma was hops and pine. The taste is balanced with a nice hop finish.

Aug 30, 2007 Rather mild ale, a bit yeasty, a fine piney finish that grows slowly in the mouth. Not half bad!

Aug 26, 2007 500 ml bottle. Golden body with a big off-white head. Aroma is dominated with baking yeast as Yngwie indicates (we are charring the same bottle). Flavor is harsh, sour, bitter (in a negative way) and the palate is watery. Short aftertaste. This could be infected, but then again I think a recognize some of these negative elements from previously sampled Pitfield beers. Especially after they started as a ecologic brewery. They seem to have a problem, what about quality control?
