Strong, refreshing full of body, and dangerous if abused. Yellow in colour, but not in heart, this beer weighs all that is good in the tradition of strong English ale.

Bottle at Medehamstede Hotel, Shanklin whilst on a short break on IOW. Pours a clear golden colour with a white head. Grainy aroma. Slight bittter finish. Not much body. Rather disappointing.

50cl bottle picked up on the IOW. Another dull and boring blond ale. Crisp and grainy, but lacking character or ambition.
