Dec 10, 2004 Cask conditioned at Mabel’s Tavern, Near Kings Cross/St Pancras, London
A dry, fruity bitter - with some unrefined bitterness. The Masterbrew was sampled alongside, and they were similar, but the masterbrew has the edge.
Sampled on the Ratebeer London Meetup & Pub Crawl, December 2004. With Silktork, Chris_o & Maeib

Amber color. Honestly, a simple Bitter, with some caramel taste, pretty high bitterness at the end, light metallic, not enough aromatic.

Oct 2, 2004 Cask at the Olde Red Cow in London. Hazed, deepened red tinged amber body. Minimal creamy white head. Earthy aroma but containing mild hop notes. taste is bitter but not too overdone. Some mild caramel mixed with faint citrus notes. Medium feel along with a light carbonation tingle. Finish is bitter and lingers trading off with an odd fruity note.

Mar 4, 2004 Cask Conditioned, at Ye Olde Red Cow, Smithfields, London.
Must have walked past this pub a thousand times and never thought to look in. Well, tonight was different, tonight I was being more thorough, slightly more desperate. After consulting the P900, the must have phone rater’s of beer, I moved in on this beer. Amber with a fine bone head. Lovely hoppy aroma, that smells like fresh hops when rubbed between your fingers. Soft smooth malt body which fills out the palate nicely. Very impressed with this bitter.

Jan 5, 2004 Copper coloured. Very hoppy, in the usual Shepherd Neame style, with an attendant assertive bitterness. Some balancing malt in the aroma and a hint of balancing sweetness on the palate. Finishes dry and clean. Vey well balanced and easy to drink (provided, that is, you like your beer wel-hopped). Handpump, Shepherd Neame brewery tap, April 2003.
