500ml bottle, best before Apr 2012, poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard 4 Nov 2011. Lovely autumnal red colour, the white head sadly wispy and weak: a collar stayed throughout the review, but I want a head on my beer! Woody aroma, pine hop and some malty molasses in the nose too. The beer has a smooth semi-sweet malt front, some hop bitterness appears half way through each mouthful and gives the beer a harsher finish than expected from the initial taste. Fairly rich and thick body wise, its clear looks giving no indication of its depth. I love beers this colour and with a malt swetness, what a pity the head couldn’t stay with the tasting.

Bottle from Oakchurch Farm Shop, Staunton on Wye, Herefordshire purchased and consumed 08-01-10 Pours orange amber with off-white head. Quite toffee and malty in both taste and aroma but with a little citrus streak. Fine but not overly exciting. A6 A3 F7 P3 Ov13 3.2
