A special edition ale using barley grown on our own farms made into malt in the traditional way. A chestnut brown ale, with an initial bitterness then a fully rounded character absolutely packed with malt flavour. The beer has an aromatic finish derived from Worcestershire Sovereign hops grown especially for Freeminer.

Bottle, Co-Op Hoylake. Poured a reddy brown colour with a dissipating off white head. Aroma and flavourwas caramel malt heavy with some muted hop. Some low key bitterness going down. Unremarkable yet tolerably drinkable.

500ml bottle from Coop in Folkestone. Its an ok golden ale. Bit of dusty malt, bit of hop on aroma. Quite drinkable. Decent premium bitter. Good malts, nice balancing hop. Good drinkability. Some decent yeast character. Yep, Id buy it again.

500ml bottle from a co-operative shop in Tayport, Fife. Dark amber body under a decent off- white head. Light smell of fruit and berries. Fruitlike malts in flavour added by late orange on a mild spicy background. Crisp and dry in the mouth [02.11.2008].

500ml bottle from my local Co-op store. Copper with a ring of off-white head; damp straw aroma; sweet and sour fruit and chewy caramel flavours, quite lively in the mouth; dry, nutty and malty finish. Warming and very pleasing.

500ml bottle from a local co-op store. Reddish amber in colour with a slight, off-white head and plenty of carbonation. Sweet red fruit and caramel aroma with a hint of earthiness. Flavour had plenty more fruit, some chewy biscuit malt and a balancing long, dry finish. Good.
