Stephen Harris		05 Jul 2020	This is superb. I actually ask the brewery if it is an improved recipe. Apparently not, just a case of absence making the heart grow fonder.

Stephen Harris		03 Apr 2012	You have to remind yourself that this brewery is only 6 months old, so much a part of the local beer scene have they become. This is a little darker than you might expect for a ‘pale’, with lots of malt flavours and a hoppy finish.

Stephen Harris		13 Sep 2016	A special cask, dry-hopped with First Gold. Nothing wrong with it, but there were so many good beers here tonight that I’m relegating it to ‘good’.

Stephen Harris		29 Jun 2016	A special cask of the Pale Ale, dry-hopped with Bobek. Whisper it, but I thought the dry-hopping detracted-from, rather than enhanced this beer.
