Jack William		13 Nov 2013	very good condition, exceedingly bitter but without any noticeable hoppiness which would have improved this in my view. Moorish though.

Stephen Harris		20 Sep 2013	Rye beers tend to be dark. I found this perfectly-conditioned, pale, rye beer a revelation, and superb. Close to five stars.

Brian		25 Sep 2010	Golden ale, spicy slightly meaty aroma, some yeasty bread dough with astringent bitterness. A bit like new car interior says Pete (who coincidentally had just picked up his new Golf).
Ian		26 Sep 2009	Been looking for this for ages. Clean gold, lasting bubbly white head. I thought perhaps some diacetyl on the aroma. Interesting rye cereal flavour in the mouth. Really quite hoppy on finish. Cracking condition makes up for a lot. Some lemon and lime citrus on finish. Yes, some biscuit/digestive biscuit flavour on finish. Some diacetyl butter. Odd, but interesting and definitely worth trying.

Blair		27 Sep 2008	Not a bad beer but probably my least favourite of the Gadds' range. Light with a nice straw flavour, quite harsh at the end though.
