The Rev. James Original is rich and well-balanced with a mellow malty flavour that unexpectedly gives way to a clean, refreshing finish.
The Rev. James ales are based on an original recipe from 1885, and named in honour of brewing legend the Rev. James Buckley, saver of souls and satisfier of thirsts.
Brewed with our exclusive Buckleys yeast, they each deliver a signature taste with a surprising finish.

Knocking out some quick ratings of beers gifted to me and then left unloved on the side. Had the cask already and have copied it here - turns out no amendments: Sour malty aroma. Chestnut. Good creamy off-white head. Medium bitter. More malts. Sours towards the finish, with a herbal element rearing its head. Slightly watery. Soft carbonation - a pillow for the tongue! However the astringent finish drops a point on palate. Enjoyable enough. Nothing to look at here.

Cask @ The Wellington, Brecon. Dark copper/ruby/brown. Mild aroma of malts and red berries. Taste is fruity, bready, nutty and spicy. Aftertaste shows a bit of bitterness. Low carbonation. Smooth, refreshing, süffig. Nice one.
