Oct 15, 2009 A Mes rate: Cask at the White Horse.
Amazing bright amber colour, no head but it’s not a problem. Straight forward UK hoppy stuff with a faint mineral note and a pleasing lick of grapefruit especially in the finish. Straight forward but tasty and drinkable.

Jul 15, 2009 Cask conditioned at The Bell & Crown,Canterbury. Amber with white head. Good dry bitter with plenty of hoppy citric notes, some filling caramel malt, well balanced, a happy sort of beer.

May 23, 2009 Cask - The Old Brewery Tavern Beer ’Festival’, Canterbury. Pours a clear, light amber with a creamy layer of white carbonation that soon dissipates. Sweet caramel malt aromas with notes of orange and the flavours have a sweet and fruity quality with a nice dry hoppy balance. Dry bitter finish leading to a nutty aftertaste. Refreshingly smooth body with a lingering palate texture.

Feb 17, 2009 Cask Conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm
Amber color; medium head. Simple aroma, some apple peel and yeast. Quite thin mouthfeel, with dry caramel flavor and light tannins, also some yeast. The hops are quite positive, the lack of malt, of body and the presence of yeast are negative. Unbalanced experience.

Feb 1, 2009 Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Copper to amber color. Sweet biscuity aroma with fruity orange marmelade. Dryer flavor with fruity marmelade, tropical fruits, biscuity maltiness and salty bitterness. Initially this is tasty but I don’t like the salty minerals in the finish.

Dec 29, 2008 Cask handpull at The Artillery Arms, Ramsgate. Copper. Very distinctive hop aroma. That’s pretty good. Nice tangerine fruit, excellent earthy hops. I’m quite impressed. Very drinkable tangerine hoppy strong bitter. Good spice on finish.

Dec 22, 2008 Cask @ The Market Porter. Amber with an off white head. Nose is quite aromatic, tropical fruit, apple and citrus hop characters with a sweet malty base, kinda Crouch Vale-esque. Taste is much the same, although not as intense as the aroma suggests, slightly bland with a hint of bitterness in the finish. Shows promise but falls just short.
