Orange, loose head. Earthy hoppy aroma. Resiny brown hoppy taste, very savoury. Smooth mouthfeel. Slight gingery component. Long resiny bitter finish, but not drying. Excellent bitter.

Mes_and_Sim (4476), Highgate, Greater London, England Jul 29, 2007 A Sim rate (Cask at the Market Porter): Smells strongly of hops and grass reminiscent of summers in Texas. Tastes similar. Much too hoppy for me but a decent beer. duff (5407), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Jul 3, 2007 Cask@Reading BF. Some lighty raw unbrewed malt notes makes this less pleasant than it otherwise could have been. . Finishes shows more dry and grainy malt notes. Quite earthy. Boring too.
