Clear bottle, I picked from the shaded rear of the shelf at Total Wine and managed to minimize skunking, but not totally eliminate it. Aroma starts with that mild familiar sulfur component, surrounded by a light grassy hoppiness and grainy caramelized malts. Mouthfeel is soft with light carbonation. Flavor is restrained with just a kiss of biscuity malts, lightly spiced with hops, and a balanced finish. At 4.4% this is totally drinkable and could make a pretty respectable session beer. I would really like to try the cask version. Not much head, bright dark amber color.

12oz bottle-pours a light tan head and amber color. Aroma is medium malt-sweet, secondary spice hops. Taste is medium malt, secondary spice/metallic hops, which continues through aftertaste. Thanks jwc215 for sharing.

Cherry, caramel, and skunk bouquet. Copper color, medium head, good lacing. Weak cherry and apple taste, minimally metallic. Generic bitter finish. Not my style.

Bottle. Bright amber with a moderate off-white head. Fruity malt aroma followed by a sweet malt flavour and short finish. Bland.

Bottle can’t remember where I got this it’s been kicking about for some time. Poured copper in colour with white head, hoppier aroma than I anticipated, taste was pleasantly malty bitterness was also ok, not bad.

That great floral aroma so common to Morland ales. Takes me back across the pond. Nice light amber color, and a hardly present white head. Looks just like an English pump. Starts just a bit malty sweet, the floral hop can’t quite balance the malt, but hey, it’s English. It doesn’t have to balance. There is enough bitter in the finish to make it wonderful. Absolutely.

Bottle. Fruitcake malt aroma. Reddish amber color with small head. Lightly sweet fruity flavor up front with moderate nutty maltiness coming out later. Pleasant tasting.
