SaintMatty (519), Tallinn, Estonia Dec 31, 2007 Cask at The Guide Dog, Southampton-Golden colour with a hoppy aroma with hints of grapefruit and pineapple. Hoppy,bitter taste with hints of citrus. Quite pleasant. JoeMcPhee (3815), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Oct 30, 2007 Cask at the Market Porter. Pale golden, lots of fresh Maris Otter graininess. Lovely woodiness and a light herbal mintiness. Slightly sharp and with a touch of huskiness. Soft apricot fruitiness and a lingering soft minerally hoppiness. Quite a nice brew. Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England Oct 15, 2007 Cask conditioned @ Guide DOg, Soton. Hopped with NZ green bullet hops. Pale in colour with forward hop nose which has slight hints of citrus but also a large amount of musty almost animal like aroma which I didnt find particularly pleasant. (perhaps the hop variety used?). Once past this its a fairly dry beer with moderate bitterness and would be alright if it wasnt for the aroma.
