    TBH I dont rate it any where as much as the previous Jan specials ,Galaxy, and Simcoe and Ahtanum or as much as a spot on bog standard Hophead,Its not one of their best.

    I liked it but not as much as the original I had recently in Chiswick.Its good that they have the confidence to try different versions of a classic beer.London Pride -citra or Youngs Special -cascade I don't think so.

    Black Sheep Visitors Centre in Masham, drinking Redemption Resurrection 4.2 with Citra etc. it starts off as a New World hopped IPA that could have been brewed anywhere then half way through the pint Yorkshire muscles in and you start thinking Golden Sheep but better, weird!

    I'm in the Craft Beer Co in Covent Garden working my way through a lot of Black Jack beers. I could've enjoyed even more of them had my train back from Wigan not been delayed by over an hour.

    I think quite a few of us are Black Jack fans at PuG. Any that you took a particular shine to?

    All of them, to be honest - I was really impressed! The two that really stood out were the Farmhouse Red IPA and the Smoked Porter (both on keg).
    Had a brief chat with one of the brewers who was very humble and quite self critical, saying that he hadn't had time to fine tune some of the keg beers they'd produced for the showcase - I certainly didn't find anything wrong with them.

    When I tried the cask version of Farmhouse Red, I loved that slight tartness to the beer, which lifted the flavour no end. I've struggled with smoked beers in the past, particularly those of licking an ashtray strength, but have recently enjoyed some of the milder ones. Bridestones, for example, do a nice smoked porter, also. Will keep an eye out for the Black Jack version. Cheers.

    The Goose! Blimey, what possessed you?
    Mind you, I was in Green Dragon on Sunday and would have nominated a babotw if I could remember what it was. Replaced without a prob (clear but apparently end of barrel) but the next option of Tribute was utterly tasteless too. I gave up on that pint, drank the tasty accompanying half of coffee porter, and did one.

    I followed the same route 12 days ago to watch some televised footie,never seen that clipping of every pump with the same beer anywhere else apart from The Goose.It had to be GK IPA............
