An English Ale with a distinctive flavour of dark toffee and caramel combined with a crisp bitterness derived from using rare Bramling Cross hops. Tropical and berry fruits from the mix of hops, in particular the rare Bramling Cross which adds black and redcurrants. Challenger in the boiling copper gives robust bitterness and this is balanced by the sweetness from the pale and crystal malts. (Bottle 4.7%)

Provdatum: 2004-04-30 Var riktigt god för ett par år sedan. Tappade konceptet för ett par år sedan. Varför ta bort den den grova halsen ,fantastisk ide att kunna bälja i sig stora mängder på kort tid. Betyget är den nuvarande tappningen.

Bottle. Hoppy for being a brittish beer. Some strange malt tones and butter in the aftertaste.

500 ml bottle. Clear amber body with a fine off-white head. Aroma is nutty, smooth malty, caramel and some fruit. Flavor is mild malty, caramel, fruity and a decent bitterness. Medium body, quite light and easy drinkable. Straightforward session bitter, not bad at all.

Pour is a amber out of the clear glass bottle. Aroma is sweet malt and very bready. Flavor is more of a dry hop with some more sweet malts following up. A simple but decent beer.

Apperance; a bit of dark red with a foamy head. A fruity aroma with also a taste of hops, with a bitter aftertaste. Good!
