| Philip Pirrip |  | 10 Aug 2012 | Did not get on with this - there was an accentuated caramel aftertaste I'd not expect from any bitter |

| Andrew |  | 10 Apr 2011 | Too cold. Pale brown, nettley hop, toasted. |

| Leigh | | 18 May 2009 | Malty & sweet, but a littl heavier than the Pale, the best is a decent example of the style. Again, another session choice. |
