1849 is a very hoppy ale brewed in a very traditional way with a pleasant subtle after-taste.

Bottle form Morrisons. Dark brown with ruby highlights. Almost no aroma, a hint of malt and no more. Flavour had red fruit, some caramel and a slightly sweet finish. Bottling appears to have done this beer few favours.

500ml bottle from Morrisons.Chestnut with a white head; rather thin body with caramel malts and dry biscuity finish. Nothing special.

500ml from Booths. Very deep chestnut colour with lasting thick beige head. Some yeast, some hop on aroma. Malt is weird because of the pasteurisation. Has decent malt, but a bit empty. Malt makes it drinkable, but still not all there

Formerly known as Celebration Ale, this one is available both on cask and in bottle. During two drinking weeks in England I had two half; at The Market Porter, London and at The Trafford Arms in Norwich. Both served in well kept condition.
Has got a dark amber colour with only a tiny little white head. Sweet hoppy aroma and caramelly malt sweetness in flavour. Hard to detect any bitterness (15.09 and 24.09.2006).

Re-rate, Cape Town, 2012:Amber-brown colour. The aroma has a lot of sweetness and some phenols. Slight brown sugar note, maybe a bit fruity, and medium body. Not a particularly exciting ale.
Original rate, Manchester, 2002: Deep amnber; phenolic nose - overpowering ammonia; palate shows maple, phenols, malt, sweet molasses.
