A pale bitter with a strong malty flavour finely balanced with fine English hops to give a hint of citrus and a suprisingly smooth finish for such a strong beer.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Clear amber with a small off-white head. Fruity nose with a little sweaty feet hops. Solid body, amazingly complex and tropical fruitiness, lots of apricot. Some phenols too though. Some warming alcohol in the finish. 150411

(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 27 Nov 2010) Dark amber colour with brief head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dried fruit, orange, toast and marmalade. Malty, fruity taste with dried fruit, citrus, orange marmalade and generous amounts of citrussy hops in a bittersweet finish. More than medium body, with some malt sweetness throughout. Good balance between the citrussy hops and the solid malt backbone. Very nice.

Bottle from Malt & Vine. Pours dark hazy amber with a coarsely foamy 3 finger beige head. Aroma is a mix of honey, cooked raisins, brown sugar and perhaps citrus. Quite a mixed nose. Full bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is slightly toasted brown sugar, some darkish fruit, and I’d say citrus. It’s changing from sip to sip - it has a fresh aspect - fresh cooked fruit? not raw fruit. That honey nose is off and on. Not the best ale inthe world, but rewarding.

Bottle at home Thanks to Fin for this ... amber ... light metalic hop ...sweet rich toffee malts ... little metalicness... some citrus in the background ... some nice resiny tones... decent depth and complexity of flavour... not a stunning beer but tasty enough... saying that this grew on me as i got through it. A good reason not to sample from 100ml :-) upping from 3.3 to 3.6

[i] [b] BCA, Westholme, Londis, Goring on Thames, Oxon, 03-05-08 [/i] [/b] Pours orangey amber with large off- white fluffy head and med’ carbonation, some alcohol and malt on the nose. Taste is malty and fruity with a bitterness at the back of the mouth. The bitterness becomes more pronounced as you get further down this beer, there is also some citrus, I seem to like this better than some of the other raters although I think it could have been a lot better.
