| Ray |  | 15 Jul 2010 | Poured a light straw colour with a loose white head. Initial exciting burst of floral hops on the nose and in the mouth well balanced with a soft maltiness. All spoiled by phenolic hints in the finish. |

| McGargle | | 19 Feb 2013 | No pump clip to show that any real ale was available but a polite enquiry revealed that this hoppy favourite was 'on'. I do wonder why pubs who offer real ale sometimes don't promote them better. |
| McGargle | | 31 Oct 2010 | Light hops still present but fruits to the fore as the cask drained. |
