Bottle from Corks of Cotham, Bristol. Dark amber pour with a slight haze and a thin off white head. Aroma was malt heavy and sweetish as was the flavour which had notes of orchard fruit, chocolate and nuts. A bit of grassy hop showed itself towards the finish. Not bad, if a bit disappointing.

Orange beer with medium and blond head. Aroma is fruitsfull, sweet, cloudberry-jelly, some baked rolls and redberries. Toffeeish, fruitish flavour and drying bitter end with some stuffyness. Nicely slippery to drink with balanced carbonation. Complex beer with great pleasand and some unpleasant nuancees, but overally this is positive beer, absolutely worth to try.

Slightly hazy amber color, small beige head. Sticky flowery hoppy, slightly honeyish aroma. Palate starts a bit watery. Flavor has honeyish hoppyness and malty notes. Crisp bitter aftertaste. Decent session beer, but the most "normal" English style brew I’ve had from Moor.

(Draught at Pikkulintu) Poured amber and mildly hazy with medium sized and white head. Aroma was malty. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, hops, bitterness, mild sweetness and acridness. Aftertaste was acrid and bitter. A disappointment.

Cask-conditioned at the Crosshands, Fishponds, Bristol 28/10/07. Pale amber with a moderate white head that left rings down the glass. Touch of sweet malt aroma with some grassy hops. Flavour of biscuit malt before a hoppy finish. Unlike other raters, my beer was served in good condition.
