Bright clear amber beer. Tidy pale cream coloured head. Palate is light and airy with a mild carbonated sting. Mild pale malt. Mild bubblegum ester. Light spice. Subtle and sweet fruit salad sweets. Finishes semi dry and crisp with mild bitterness. Respectable.

Red brown colour. Aroma is sweet and fruity (red fruits). Flavour has the red fruit sweetness, also hints of caramel. Rich feel. Flavour more suited to a winter beer but very pleasant.

[Bottle, gift from my wife - cheers!] I do like these "punny" named beers for special occasions. Sorry! This one’s deep amber, moderate white head. Rather fizzy at first but this does die back to leave quite a smooth beer. Toffee dominates from the off, and it’s one the sweet side. There’s a little peppery straw in the finish, but otherwise it’s toffee through and through. It’s one dimensional, admittedly, but as an Autumnal ale it’s quite pleasing. I’m not sure why an Autumn-style beer was released for an early summer Jubilee, but as it turned out, we had Autumn weather anyway, so the brewer obviously knew what they were doing!

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Amber with a tight cream head; soft and full-bodied with lots of biscuity malts; the finish is dry and warming with a touch of sour fruit and caramel.
