Oct 18, 2009 (draft @ Tap and Mallet - Rochester, NY) Copper color with almost no head. Aroma is dry and malty with a little bit of dry grass. Flavor is smooth and malty with a light bitterness at the end. Not bad, but kind of ordinary.

Aug 8, 2009 Cask (gravity) at GBBF 2009, Day 1. Not at all sure this is the same beer as it was listed in the programme at 6.7%. On the other hand I can’t see Sierra Nevada making a special brew just to send a couple of casks to GBBF. Perhaps the programme was wrong as this didn’t really taste 6.7%. In fact it came over as a decent, but fairly standard, UK best bitter. Amber colour, slight haze but decent condition. Fairly prominent trad hop presence but nothing that really sang out. Some tangy/spicy nuances. Quite authentic, and compared reasonably well with similar UK offerings, but perhaps not quite what I was looking for from a US beer at a festival over-supplied with UK best bitters. Coals to Newcastle?
