Bottle from Corks, Bristol. Amber coloured with no head and slight carbonation. Earthy hop aroma with a touch of caramel. Flavour was Sweet, with some toffee, a hint of diacetyl and then the contrast of some big, chunky hops giving a very bitter finish. A bit disjointed.

50 cL bottle, thanks to Ungstrup. Pours clear orange with a lacing white head. Mouldy malty aroma. Flavour is slight spiced, malty flavour beneath. Malty boring flavour. Nothing great really but a nice palate cleanser.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear pale amber with a creamy off-white head. Sweet biscuity aroma. Medium body, sweet caramel and fruit with a tang of something chemical - probably a fermentation errror. The Fuggles leave a rather harsh bitterness. 230110
(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Ungstrup. Slightly hazy, pale amber golden with a small, white head. Unclean, buttery nose. Thin and sloppy body, completely flat. Dry and buttery notes - no real malt. The finish is lightly bitter. I really hope this isn’t how it’s supposed to taste. 2/2/2/2/4=1.2 280907

Bottle, picked up at Saltaire Wines, Saltaire, West Yorkshire 04-05-07. Poured copper coloured, with a nice light floral aroma, tasted a little fruity and hoppy, nice bitterness, very easy quaffing beer that whilst not offering an awful lot to the discerning palate was a nice easy drinking bitter.

Half pint from cask at The Central Bar (Wetherspoon) in Cardiff. Dark orange coloured body with a thin white head and some laceworks. Orange fruity smell. Flavour of hops and spicies overlaid by a touch of grapefruit. Brush of bitterness in the finish. Smooth palate. (03.02.2007).

Bottled. A copper colored beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is of caramel, cream, herbs, and a bit of hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of caramel, but also some cream - a bit like candy, but soon a very bitter hoppy note comes along with a light note of herbs. The bitterness runs along the side of the tongue, and leaves it very dry in the end.

Cask handpull at Folkestone Wetherspoons. Copper colour with lasting bubbly off white head. Very earthy Fuggles through out. Really quite bitter on finish, bit of blue cheese too, in fact really quite stiltony. Malt is ok, but cold back the hop up more. Lovely blue cheese, would go well with crackers, this pint. Really quite bitter and drying. Good condition and tasted fresh.3.6/5.0 Re-rate at Kent BF 08. Brilliant malty session bitter that just isn’t made now. Nothing flashy but it’s just great, lovely subtle fruit

Cask conditioned at The Monks’ Retreat, Reading A golden coloured pint with a good cream head; medium bodied and well balanced with a citric bitterness and a pleasing finish. A very well crafted bitter.
