Pipkin pale malt, Crystal malt and maltose syrup. Challenger and Goldings hops. Morland’s original yeast. A quite unique, strong, bottle-conditioned ale with an original gravity of 1059, full of flavour and character with a richly malted aroma and a nice, smooth finish. From a blend of Pale Ale and Crystal malts, this is a rich and satisfying beer with good presentation. A strongish beer in terms of alcohol, but there’s no bite from this Hen’s Tooth!

Incredibly English, better than it should be, and still not truly tickling my fancy. The apple-cider funk of British beer appears immediately, but gets tightened up by a yeast-laced tartness that gives way to a bracing, unexpectedly bitter finish. The cheap, sharp texture proves annoying, but all-in-all this pint turns out a pleasant distraction. (8/08)

Originally rated January 2007. Caution ! Beer might explode out of the bottle once open (even if not shaken). Lost 75% of the beer itself, all over my counter and spoons, knives and forks (drawer was open to get the bottle-opener). Sediments were at the bottom of the bottle, and bottle is clear... so easy to see them move around. The beer itself is slightly hazy amber-caramel coloured. The nose is fruity, with peaches, strawberries and oranges. A little sticky mouthfeel that is not bad. Good bitterness in the taste with the fruit in the back and a nice alcohol feel. Not a bad beer, just wish I had more to drink from the bottle I bought.

It’s a pretty standard beer from this company. Reminds me a lot of the Fiddler’s Elbow. Rated 4/9/04

bottle, Tesco Hereford. Deep amber colour with a small head. Aroma of wet paint. Full-bodied, very malty with a nice hoppy-bitter finish. Luckily the wet paint aroma was not detectable in the flavour.
