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?

Aug 7, 2009 Cask, GBBF 09. Hazy gold with no head. Aromas are grain and melon with some biscuit. Flavours are sweet grain with lots of damp notes. Some peppery hops. Drinkable but very mediocre.

Jun 4, 2009 Tap at Rattle n Hum: Deep golden pour with an off white film of head. Lightly sweet biscuity malt aroma, light peanut brittle and fuggle/British herbal hops. Crisp & light mouthfeel. Nice biscuity/peanuty malt back that gives off a light sweetness. Some soft herbal hop offer a touch of bitterness and vegetal on the back. Clean and balanced. Simple but solid.

Jun 4, 2009 On tap during Sierra Nevada week. A delicious biscuity ale with a short bitter finish that has you constantly sipping. Similar to Boddingtons, but has some pine spices and richer flavors. Awesome brew and my favorite of the night. 3.75
