Thornbridge Brother Rabbit
Cask: Occasional.
Thornbridge Brother Rabbit (4%) - an early spring ale. Hopped with three classic American hops: Cascade, Chinook and Centennial (N.B. J D Wetherspoons festival programme October 2011 states hops are Amarillo and Cascade). Gold in colour with tropical fruits and orange sherbet dominating the aroma. Medium body with a clean firm bitterness to balance – a great thirst quenching beer.

330ml bottle from Thornbridge.
Thin white head, good lacing. Clear golden body. Nose is straw, bread. Flavour is malt, biscuit, earthy hops. Medium carbonation, decent mouthfeel. Standard golden ale, nothing exciting.

Hazy straw coloured with a thin white head of foam. It has a floral fruit and citrus flavour with grassy notes on the spicy warming finish. Good for the low-ish ABV.

Nice and light
September 14, 2019 - with lagerloather, at Craft Beer Co (Hammersmith) - on handpull cask. Very clear light gold with a nice beige head, nice lacing. Extra grainy standard fresh golden ale aroma - light alcohol, just the thing after the QPR match, wedged into tiny seats in full sun. Taste follows, quite lush, fresh oily grain, some stone fruit juicy sweetness and low-level funky/acidic UK hop - nice. Chewy mouthfeel, light body and carbonation, quickish grainy gentle finish. Terrific drinker.

Cask at Flint Gate, Weybridge. Low key aroma. Slightly hazy light gold. No head. Light-medium bitter with a citrus sweet edge. Light-medium bodied. Slick. flat. Dry. OK.
Endelig tid for Mi2 etter flere gyldige fravær! Kveldens tredje øl er faktisk fra cask (uten håndpumpe). Lett uklar strågul med svært kort skum og ingen karbonering å snakke om. Floral aroma og smak med lav bitterhet. Litt blomstereng og noe høy. Rather uninspiring.
A bit flat, even for a cask bitter. A pump would come in handy. Suspects that this is a little bit over the hill, but still a descent traditional bitter, with good hoppy finish
Cask at Cardinal, Stavanger. Pours hazy golden without any head. Aroma of flowers, citrus, some notes of bread. Tastes slightly bitter with little sweetness. Thin bodied, no carbonation.
From cask served by gravity at Cardinal with DKS people 26.11.19. Clear pale straw colour. Diminishing white head. Refreshing taste of lemon, lime, pale malt and a hint of biscuits. Good, fresh, and quaffable.
From cask served by gravity at Cardinal with BHK after seeing Metropolis with live organ music at Stavanger Concert House. Translucent pale straw colour. No head. Aroma and taste of biscuits and withered citrus. No carbonation. There’s room for improvement in cellermanship. [4/2/4/3/8=2.1]
