Full of character and flavour, the use of fine English malt and citrus whole hops lead to a well-rounded, lightly hopped and satisfyingly refreshing ale. It’s lightly carbonated, smooth and brewed at 4.1%, making it an ideal choice for a laid-back evening or day session.
A Humdinger indeed.

Spotty white head on a finely carbonated unclear copper coloured body.
Sweet, malt & bitter hop aroma.
Medium bodied, lightly carbonated with a cloying back.
Sweet, make, blueberry & confectionery tastes with a lightly hopped bitter finish.
Too sweet

Bottle Pint: Amber coloured brew with an fine bitter taste, and hints of some honey. An sort of foamy head, saw lesser with different English brews.

500ml bottle. Poured a clear medium amber with a fizzy white head. The aroma is caramel malt, mineral, earthy, light hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a crisp, malt, mineral, metallic, light sweet, dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to lively carbonation.

Bottle from ASDA, Manchester. Clear copper-amber with no head. Sweet malty ale, although never too stated with its malts, nor in its honey flavourings.

500ml bottle from Sainsburys. Copper coloured with an amber glow and a small white head. Sweet tasting with notes of honey in its aroma. Has a slight biscuit malt flavour.

500ml bottle at home. Pours clear dark yellow, little to no head. Aroma has that dirty sweetness honey has, plus a floral note. Quite thin, but an easy enough beer to quaff.

50 cl bottle @ HBF. Rated on 21.05.2010
Aroma has honey, English hops and hints of hay. Flavour has somewhat artifical honey notes, hay, English hops, caramel and toffee. 10 cl of this stuff was definitely enough. It seeems that Joseph Holt is not one of my favourite breweries.
