A dark amber, strong ale, with a spicy aroma and a complex sweetness to complement the hoppy dry finish. This traditionally brewed strong English Ale is hopped with Goldings and Fuggles to give a spicy aroma. Full bodied, with a complex sweetness to complement the hoppy dry finish.

Bottle bought at Coop, Shanklin, IOW and ’enjoyed’ on the island. Pours golden brown with a thin beige head. Vague hoppy aroma. Rather bland and disappointing.

Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green - 07/09/12. Light amber brown with a thinnish off-white head which soon clears to the edge. Floral nose, slightly perfumed, Frys Turkish Delight! Orange and citrus in taste, biscuit and sweet malts. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. An adequate drop!

Bottled. A golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of citrusy fruits and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, citrus fruits, and elderflowers, leading to a dry and bitter finish.

50cl bottle bought in Hartney Whitney. Amber with a faint ring of white head; aroma of apricots and honey; oily textrure with fruity malt flavours; the finish is dry, with a soft undertone of English hops. A sound but unexciting bitter.

Den första ölen jag drack på Hawkley Inn hösten -09. Då tyckte jag den kändes humlad med amerikansk humle. Senare insåg jag att välhumlade engelska öl med speciellt fuggles får fin humlekaraktär. Inte lika bra på flaska. Mörkare och nötigare än de andra från Goddards.
