Philip Pirrip		01 Nov 2023	The Guv confirmed the cask label said it was 3.9% and not the downgraded new 3.4% version or else I should not have chosen it. Not an inspiring ale

Dubbel		29 Sep 2009	The much anticipated new harvest of hops has arrived and the result is truly spectacular. A hop explosion on the palate, fruity, spritzy and so very very good. Not sure this could possibly be bettered. Unsurprisingly drunk dry while we were here.
Dubbel		28 Aug 2009	Good but less than dazzling today. Tail end of last year's hops. New crop should feature in the next run.
Pedro		20 Aug 2009
Dubbel		20 Aug 2009	Had to start with a pint of the unofficial Beer of the Year. Lots of people cooing about it. It was excellent but ever so slightly below its awesome best. Apparently the brewers aren't particularly happy with its recent form (!?) and are excited about the quality of this year's fresh hop harvest. Bring it on!

Dubbel		26 Jun 2009	I love this beer! Chocked full of fruity bittersweet marvellousness. Blew away everything else on the bar.
