Bottle from Morrisons. Pours a clear copper/caramel colour with a medium sized creamy off-white head. Aromas of caramel, citrus fruits, biscuits and toasty bread. Taste is much more citrus, lemon peel, marmalade, caramel, toasty bread, peppery spice and also a hint of floral. Big hoppy citrus bitterness on the finish. Medium to full body with a smooth oily mouthfeel. Maybe just a bit too much bitterness for my liking but still a tasty beer. I like it more than when i last tried this a few years back. Good beer.

Gyllengul med drag åt koppar med fingerstjock fluffigt skum. Arom av kaka, nästan lite digestivekex och så mjuk kola. Mycket tunn med en hög bitterbeska. Försvinnande lite maltsötma.

Cask at Old Dolphin, Derby. Pours “bitter brown” with a minimal white head. There is an aroma of malts mixed with fruit. In the mouth it is sweet and fruity, with apricots. Initially it has a buttery texture which eases into caramel. Finish is bitter and fruity. A simple beer but done very well.

Bottle @home. Ambrata scarica, limpida, schiuma avorio media, discretamente persistente. Al naso note di biscotto, caramello, terrose, erbacee, leggermente citriche. In bocca è bilanciata, con attacco maltato e chiusura amara media, perfettamente legata. Corpo medio-leggero, carbonazione medio-leggera. Birra di ottima fattura.

Bottle. Brownish amber with a doming 2cm off white head. Malty - even slightly roasty aroma - with toast, peach, marmalade. So it tastes, with stinging bitterness at the end. Engaging enough with fine balance. Deeply refreshing.

Many thanks for this Traditional Ale to dantomlinson. Aromat mega chmielny, barwa klarowna bursztynowa, a piany tyle co w wojewodzkim szpitalu w radomiu osob ze stwierdzona niewydolnoscia oddechowa. Do tego oblepia brytyjska pinte od wewnatrz. W smaku gozkie i tylko gozkie, nie ma innych zadnych innych smakow. tylko gorycz ciagnaca sie dlugo niczym kolejki przed aptekami.
