Tasting Summary

These comments are the opinion of the individual reviewer and represent what they thought of the beer on a particular day in a particular pub. If a review is less favourable, it may be because the beer suffered somewhere in the supply chain between them and the brewery.

McGargle		21 Jul 2011	Lacking the booming hop freshness of last night's sample in The Moorings. Good but.....

McGargle		20 Jul 2011	Bursting with hops and long lasting bitterness. Good body and mouthfeel. Long dry finish. Very enjoyable.
McGargle	Not Tried	16 Dec 2010	Went off as my pint was pulled.
McGargle		19 Oct 2009	Clear golden orange with thin white head served at perfect temperature. Initial hop hit well balanced by malty body. Exceptional at first, the taste became over-rich (not over-hopped) and slightly cloying by the end of a pint.
McGargle		10 Aug 2009	Different from last tasting. Hops slightly less evident but bigger mouth feel. Hard to believe it's only 4.1%.
McGargle		22 Jul 2009	Toned down and extremely drinkable Punk IPA or Chaos Theory. Bursting with Amarillo hop flavours and could stand a little chilling on a hot day. Why can so few brewers produce ales of this character?

McGargle		02 May 2011	Good hops, clean in the mouth. Slightly warm again.
McGargle		10 Mar 2011	Lots of hops and a satisfying bitterness spoiled by being served a tad warm.

Ian		18 Apr 2010	The first half I had on the way through was stunning, the pint took a long time to pour and it looked hazy and a long time to settle, bit dubious.

Ian		25 Feb 2010	Shows how to do this style well, plenty of hop and utterly drinkable in mouth. Stinging lasting rasping hop on finish.

Dubbel	Not Tried	31 Aug 2009
Ian		06 Jun 2009	Now I had this twice and loved it each time. Good condition, much better than Reading BF last year. More flavoursome on the hops and less metallic. Unfortunately it ran out otherwise I would have had it again. Best hops of the day
Dubbel		02 Apr 2009	Dry and floral with a hoppy bite. Sessionable enough to warrant a pint. Popular.
