Stephen Harris		14 Jan 2013	A tawny-coloured, fruity bitter with some peppery hop tastes. Cascade, Amarillo, Bramling Cross and Magnum hops all in the mix.
Stephen Harris		28 Jun 2012	I only got a drop or two of this bottled beer.
Stephen Harris		07 Jun 2012	I tried the bottled version, which is at the higher strength of 4.7%. Reddish-brown, spicy hop mix and a bit more whumph than the cask version.

Philip Pirrip	Not Tried	04 Jul 2015	No go as no provenance! No indication on the pumpclip as to where this is brewed, the press has suggested LF is contracted out to breweries as far afield as Lincolnshire and Sussex
Philip Pirrip		25 Nov 2012	Hazy but slurpable

Stephen Harris		23 Feb 2012	My first sample of this beer from the new brewery location. Ruby red colour. Sulphury aroma from the water and good roasted barley taste with a peppery hop aftertaste. Described by Roger Protz as a “sensationally good beer”.

Ian		17 Feb 2012	Brown slight haze. Lasting beige head. Some farty yeast. Quite malty in the mouth. Decent malt and biscuit in mouth. I mean it is a bitter that isnt that bitter on the finish. Some dry tingle.

thebrewingman		03 Nov 2011	Brewed whilst barricaded in during the Tottenham riots. The only beer I had from the bar and was a bit too cold to get the full flavours through.
