| Dosser |  | 25 Feb 2025 | Clear for a vegan beer. I didnt like it. |
| Dosser |  | 14 Feb 2020 | Didnt like this. Wish I had asked for a sample. Not right and on toilet far too often after this beer. |

| Philip Pirrip |  | 12 Aug 2014 | I was suspicious of the quick fill and shuffling. I had a wander and could see several Icebergs sitting below counter too. I challenged if this was a top up of some stale beer below deck and this was acknowledged. Replaced |
| Philip Pirrip | | 12 Aug 2014 | Fresh pint was excellent with lingering bitterness |

| Ian | | 22 Mar 2007 | Pale chestnut colour with lasting beige head. Bit of sickly malt on aroma, but mostly rich strawberry/raspberry and malt aroma. Full in mouth with more strawberry, morphs into creamy hop finish. Hop is balancing and shows some lemon acids to do battle with the rich malt. Rich and hoppy premium bitter and rather stunning. |
