50cl bottle. Pours amber with a nice sized head some if which hangs around. The nose has biscuits and caramel. The taste has toffee, biscuits and a creamy bitter finish. The palate has a medium structure, medium texture and a quenching dry finish. Overall, a nice balanced bitter

Medium beige head. Deep chestnut brown body. Faint floral aroma. Dry-sweetish fruity wooden taste. Mild mouthfeel. Not much flavour. Dry apricot and flowers aftertaste with mealy grassy notes. Nice, drinkable, but a bit bland. Could use more complexity. (0.5l bottle, RealAle.com.)

Bottle. Reddish-amber with next to no head. Fruity, marmalade aroma followed by flavours of fruit and sweet malt. Finish was moderately dry. Good.

Bottle: Hazy, amber coloured; quite firm and lacing off-white head; fruity (dark berries and oranges) and dark-malty to nutty aroma with a tinge of molasses and tobacco, hops detectable; moderate, quite dry and bitter flavour; dry peppery, bitter fruity finish. Very pleasant stuff !

500ml bottle. Amber, thin off white head. Yeast, hop and nice strawberry fruits aroma. Almost unbelievably drinkable bitter. Good juicy strawberry malt in mouth. Understated hop finish. Finish lacks something. But overall easy drinking bitter.
