Ray		15 Jan 2012	At 6% this was a subtle rather than 'in your face' pale ale. Inviting burnt orange with tight off white head the flavours were both rounded nad restrained. Long sweetish finish.
ChrisE		21 Jul 2011	This was served in the outside area in a plastic cup which did it no favours at all. It appeared to be golden in colour but it was difficult to tell. The flavour of the New Zealand hops started to come through towards the end of the cup.

Stephen Harris		28 Jul 2012	A full-on Pacific IPA. Nearly exceptional status, but we thought some might find the hopping too harsh.
