McGargle		14 May 2013	Uncompromisingly bitter and served in top condition. Just prefer the extra fruitiness of Jarl.
Ray		21 Dec 2011	Light, fruity and hoppy with easy drying finish. Just misses support from the malt bill to make a good beer great.
McGargle		04 Dec 2011	Light golden and bitter with a bitter slightly fruity finish. Just lacking the tropical fruits of Jarl.

Angie		22 Mar 2011	Ian was quite right. What a beer! Just right for this lady. Full of flavour. Tasted like something Dark Star would have brewed. Didn't make me want to cry, but I got a little emotional. Dave has several more Fynes beers in the cellar. Had run out by Tuesday.
Pedro		19 Mar 2011	Ran out

Ian		18 Mar 2011	Not had this since Glasgow in 2007. When it comes to blond hoppy beers in stunning condition this is hard to beat. Stunning in the mouth with the right level of sting on the end. Peach apricot lychee aroma. Mouthfeel makes me want to cry it is that good. That pint will live with me throughout the year. The best condition I have ever had a beer in. Pint lasted 10 minutes even after 90 mins of drinking. Its everything I want a cask beer to be.

Ian		23 Aug 2007	Beer of the day for me. Gold, thin white head. Lovely citrusy bitter. Superb. Great beer in the Dark Star Hophead, Oakham JHB line. Excellent. So good I had another pint of it.
