This award-winning amber-coloured beer has a strong malt and fruit balance, evident in both the aroma and flavour, with a slight sweetness, leading to a dry finish.

Hazy amber color. The aroma is sweet, malty, with caramel and fruity hops. Round mouthfeel, excellent caramel flavor, residual sugars that stick on the lips, vibrant hopping, lightly fruity. Balanced final. Wonderful.

Cask, Ship and Mitre, Liverpool. Darkish brown with a small muddy coloured head. Sweetish aroma with some fruit and malt present. Smooth and soft mouthfeel. Flavour is quite malty with a slight fruity tang in there and a dry bitter hop finish. Alcohol nicely hidden. Crap name for a half decent beer.

(Cask at Pilgrim, Liverpool, 26 July) Colour is dark amber, tawny notes, with little head. Nose is fruity and malty with notes of wild berries, dusty hops and dried fruit. Taste is initially malty, then fruity with dried fruit and a bitter finish with dusty hops and pine needles. Medium to full body and lots of flavour. Balanced sweetness. A complex and tasty ale.

Cask handpull at Ye Cracke, Liverpool. Pale chestnut with creamy head. Good hop/malt nose. Warm malts and a touch of walnut. Smooth in mouth. Good hop finish. Well balanced beer. Strength doesn’t intrude on the flavour. Good frutiy malts up front and in mouth balanced by drying hop finish. Good English strong ale. Nice almost whisky malts on aroma, thick fruity malt flavours in mouth with long dry finish. Some red berry fruit too. Highly recommend trying this.
