Aug 10, 2008 (Rate mistakenly entered under the pasteurised version, 09/03/08). En Burbage. Thoroughbred?! Thoroughly vile. Quite possibly the most poisonously unpleasant, tainted pint I’ve ever been served anywhere in the world. Left nearly a half in the glass it was that bad-unprecedented. Stale raisins left cooking in a jar on a hot windowsill in Granny’s kitchen for several years. A sourly dried-fruity stale gelatinous twang, and very little else. Extraordinary. One to resample elsewhere. 43235

Aug 1, 2007 Cask at Ye Olde Starre Inne, York. labeled ’Thwaites Thoroughbred Gold’. Pours a clear golden-orange with an average size lasting creamy white head. Nice mild aroma of light citrusy hops backed by sweet malt. Flavour starts quite subtle but then kicks in with a nice amount of hops along with fruit (though thankfully not too much), sweet malt and a short bitter finish. Medium bodied. Pretty good stuff.

Jul 9, 2007 State bar. Aroma was caramel malts with hints of grass. Taste was thin carweml again from the malts, quite a bit of bitterness an grassy. Not to great, but in good condition.

May 8, 2007 Pint pulled at The Golden Lion in Settle(Yorkshire), a slight cloudiness to the amber colour with a sparkler induced creamy head. A grainy malt aroma. The malty flavour is sweeter, with a touch of bitter hops int he background. It grew on me after a few, but overall a bit bland.

May 7, 2007 [CASK: The Bull’s Head, Piccadilly, Manchester 05/03/07] Not very impressive. A resanoble ale but middle range. Nothing special, not much flavour or taste.
