Delicate and devilishly drinkable, this quintessentially Kentish ale lays the county's hallowed, herbaceous hops on a firm, biscuity bed of pale and crystal malt. Endowed with an inviting auburn-amber hue and a tantalising toffee-ish aroma, it's an enlivening English ale that, given its unassuming ABV, pleasures the palate with a remarkable fullness of flavour.

Flaske 0,5l fra Eurospar Langnes. Drukket hjemme 1 Aug 13. Mørk gyldenbrun med et høyt luftig skum som varer en stund. Litt lacing. Aroma av malt. Smaken er skarp malt. Blir litt syrlig etter hvert. Mangler fylde - men god for styrken.

Bottle from Tesco. Poured a clear medium amber with a thin white head. The aroma is classic hoppy malt. Medium bitter flavour with a malty hop palate and a short bitter finish. Served warm its a perfect English session ale.

Bottle at home. Pours a golden amber colour topped with an off-white-colored, medium head. Its aroma is characterized by fudge, hops, leather, bread and some dried fruit and cardamom. The taste does not possess as much complexity, but rather malty with touches of leather and hops, and dry in the finish. Mouth feel is smooth, while the bitterness is at a medium level. In summary the flavour did not follow up the aroma that had several interesting items, and felt a little unbalanced but with a decent hoppy touch.

Cask @ The Alma, Painters Forsdal, Kent. A clear, deep golden body with a fast disappearing off-white head. Rather mild in aroma mainly from light roasted caramel malt. Flavor is cask soft caramel malt, a bit fruity and moderate bitterness. Medium body and medium strength aftertaste. Totally OK session ale, but frankly rather straight forward.
