Cask conditioned this is just an excellent ale. Enough said. Rerate May 14 2002: Had this one again today from can + bottle (bottle slightly better) in Norway, not nearly as good as cask conditioned, but still a very drinkable ale. Could use a little more aromatic hops. Rerate 2: I take back what I said about can vs. bottle. I found a retailer who stores the cans cold, and they’re a helluva lot better than the frequently skunky (clear!) bottles, which are stored warm at my other retailer’s. Well kept, I just love the nutty freshness of this ale.

Old review - 13 June 2021 - Tasted yesterday at 2 different pubs on Jersey's north coast, Prince of Wales at Greve de Lecq & the Priory Inn at Devil's Hole. Decent pint

Cask på East India Arms. Rödbrun. Mjuk, lite knäckebröd örter. Helt okej men inte så minnesvärd.

Krystallklar amber med hvit lav topp som blir liggende. Aroma; malt, gress, humle, korn, hint av noe sitrus. Smak; høy, malt, gress, humle, korn. Myk, lettdrikkelig. Øl!

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading; surprised I've not rated it before. Amber with an off-white head. Average condition at best. Sweetish, with brown bread, a vague fruitiness, caramel, a lot of diacetyl. Disturbingly sticky. Not great.

Cask, half pint. @The Flying Horse, Gatwick Airport (UK). 19/02/2023 [#6.020 Global - #780 England - #2 Shepherd Neame] Pours amber with a thin head, mostly lacing. Aroma: caramelly malts, dark fruits and toffee. Taste: grassy hops, orange maramalade and hints of caramelly malts. Pleasant caramelly mouthfeel. Next one please!

On draft at The George London. Pours a burnished copper, almost mahogany with an off white head. Nose is herbal and grassy hops and some bready sweet malt. Flavour is mild hops and nice stable malt.
