Apr 22, 2006 Half pint pulled at the Corn Mill in Llangollen (Denbighshire, Wales), a clear light brown with a frothy slightly off-white head. A grassy hop aroma with some maltiness in the background. A subtle bitterness with a light mouthfeel and a short finish. Malt, with a little bit of space, is the dominant flavour.

Aug 12, 2004 Cask Conditioned, at the GBBF, 2004.
Golden body with white sudsy head, from the fresh pour. Muted hops and malts are somewhat overwhelmed (unjustly) by a sweetness that comes through from the start. Didn’t really get the point of the beer but enjoyed the taste from a new brewery.

Aug 10, 2004 Rich, deep amber colour. Restrained floral hop and dry malt aroma. Much the same on the palate, with a touch of sweetness. Bitter-sweet finish. Medium bodied. A very decent, well balanced, best bitter in a quite traditional style. Cask, GBBF 2004, day 1.
