Bottle: Deep golden,a bit unclear, small off-white foamy layer, herbal (with traces of mint?) to fruity nose; mild bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied and a bit fizzy; herbal- medical traces in the fruity-malty finish. Unharmonic stuff…

500ml bottle. Clear orangey dark golden to amber colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly grainy, fruity and minimally spicy aroma. Taste is minimally fruity with cautious hints of red berries, slightly grainy, minimally spicy; slightly soapy finish.

Clear amber pint with a thick, frothy head. Slightly sweet, malty aroma and the taste matches that. The aftertaste is hoppy and there?s a slightly toasted-ness to it too. Lively on the tongue and very drinkable if a touch watery.

November 2008 review from BA: green 500ml bottle, well inside its BBD. Poured into pint sleeve glass. Light amber/terracotta in colour with bubbles rising to the large white head, it looks a very good beer. There is very little aroma, some hops and malty tones, but not much for me. Dry and refreshing feel to the taste, hops and yeast obviously in the flavours. Some citrus fruit in there too, but not sour or sharp, more grapefruit than lemon and limes. Well balanced and easy to drink, carbonisation about right with a good firm body for a beer of 4.2%. The brewery is now owned by Banks’s or whatever they call themselves now (Marston’s?). So far they don’t seem to have changed anything up in Cockermouth, only time will tell if that is to continue.

500 ml bottle. Pours with a good head which disappears fairly quickly leaving some laces. Nice bitterness but otherwise quite bland. Slightly metallic aftertaste. Won?t buy another bottle of this ale.
