Coppery colored body supports a nice firm tight head of white foam that gives off a good spruce aroma. This has more of a dry palate than a bitter one. The body compliments the flavors well, not too sweet, not too bitter and light yet not watery. Different and drinkable.

Tried on cask! Not too bad. Was hoping for a bit more. This had a timid body to it. I guess if middle ages wanted to produce a nondescript beer, they did a great job. It had the usual warm hop bitterness, and even a bit of oatmeal cookie taste towards the end, not quite creamy. There are certainly much better bitters out there.

A light bitter, not very flavorful - slight spiciness - a tiny sweetness that mingles well with the doughy flavors that come into play - pretty well done, but lacking anything that makes me want to revisit it another time.

Nice orange tint to a golden colour. Fantasticly strong bitter smell. Initially strong bitter taste, finishing slowly and mildly. Not the greatest compliment of flavours, but an overall good bitter!

Amber-copper; good chewy malts and English hops on the nose; flowery hops and chewy, slightly nutty malts on the palate. Nice.
