Andrew		08 Jul 2006	Bit dusty tasting but okay. Only ever seen this in bottles before and it tasted fairly similar

McGargle		24 Jul 2010	Dark golden colour retaining a fine white head. Aroma and flavour swamped by biscuit malt and yeast leaving no room for anything else. Thin in the mouth for 4.5%.

Dubbel		09 Aug 2009	'Doggy' Sheps malt and washed out hops, flat and not summery enough by far. Not very good considering there should be no problem with throughput at this busy flagship outlet.

Andrew		26 Jul 2009	A touch too cold perhaps but when it warmed up a bit the woody-resinous overtones came out nicely.

Andrew		13 Jul 2008	The initial flavours were really good; rose petal and turkish delight but they were immediately blasted out of the way by an overpowering base-bitterness.

Andrew		01 Jul 2007	Good heathery hops dominate over the malt. If it wasn't for a hint of marmite I'd have given it a higher score.

Ian		27 May 2006	Copper colour with white bubbly head. Sheps yeast. Bit wet in mouth. Some bitterness on end. Flowery hop, quite nice, but just a bit nothingy
