Nekronos (1943), Xalapa, Mexico Sep 16, 2008 Very nice, too bitter and perhaps dry but well rewed. Creamy feeling. I had it at GBBF 2008. bobinlondon (220), Harrow, Greater London, England Jul 13, 2008 Handpulled at the White Bear, Masham. Amber coloured with thick Yorkshire head, looks good. Little aroma initially, but later has a spicey pepper note, malty dry fairly standard bitter. Very good.
leaparsons (3963), Leicester, Leicestershire, England Apr 24, 2008 Cask, The Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, Oadby. Amber with a white bubbly head. Aromas are smooth caramel with floral notes and fruity melon. Flavours are toffee malts and fruity citrus with a dry finish. downender (1609), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England Mar 30, 2008 Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 30/3/08. A standard session bitter with a sweet edge. Amber with a decent white head. Did not stand out but perfectly drinkable. Fin (2344), Merton, Oxfordshire, England Mar 30, 2008 Cask at The Penny Black,JDW, Bicester, Oxon, 29-03-08 Mid amber pour with a good white bubbly head, in fact a pretty good looker. Some strawberry cream in the mouth with a layering of light vanilla, I suppose like one of those biscuits with a creamy vanilla filling. Lacking in the bitterness stakes or hops but its fine, gets a bit furry in the mouth after a while.
