Bear & Ragged Staff		13 Jul 2012	First time I have tried a pint from this brewery. Tea and tinny tastes which seemed to compliment each other and not detract from the overall effect. Enjoyable.

McGargle		07 Dec 2010	More hints of cider than honey this time. Not quite undrinkable but nearly.
McGargle		19 Nov 2010	Typical Ossian's but with a hint of honey.
McGargle		11 Dec 2009	Tired with a bitter, metallic edge. Still well carbonated, though (??).
McGargle		04 Sep 2009	Last two pints from the cask. Dark golden with good head retention. Hoppy, slightly mineral flavour.

Ian		18 Feb 2010	Malty blond beer, with just a hint of tea flavour to it. I must admit I did prefer the Ice Queen this has a little diacetyl on the aroma. I can't get enough of those Chinook and Cascade hops
ChrisE		17 Feb 2010	One of my favourite beers, and this was superb.

Ian		20 Jul 2007	Gold, off white bubbly head. Rather attractive aroma. Very drinkable, excellent fruit. Good range of citrus fruits. Good condition. I liked it. Slightly flinty, but different from your usual bitter.
