Bottle from the much lamented Memorable Cheese and More, Ipswich. Pours a cloudy copper brown colour with a big off white head. Aroma of caramel malt and hops. Medium sweetness, light bitterness and slight sourness. Medium body, texture has a slightly chalky feel to it. Average carbonation. Malty bitter finish.

Bottled (from AbM). Amber colour with a small off-white foamy head. Aroma is caramel malts, some wood, resin, mild grass as well as some floral notes. Flavour is floral, wooden, a bit crystal and bready malty with some slight herbal notes. Nice and smooth bitterness in the finish.

Warning! Early amateur rating! On tap at the Sun Inn, Kelvedon. Tart and fruity. Moderate carbonation. Not too bitter. Very drinkable.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a huge beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, but with a powerful acidic edge. The flavor is sweet malty, but with light acidic edge and light notes of ginger, leading to a dry finish. Thanks fonefan for sharing.

Bottle, thx to fonefan. It pours a hazy orange-golden body with a big, dense, off-white head. Sourish, chalky nose with some cooked vegetables and some sweetish maltyness. Sourish, citrusy and chalky flavor, but there’s also a good sweet maltyness giving it some balance and depth. Medium body. Malty, sourish and dusty finish with some bitterness. Another far from impressing English bottle-conditioned beer. (080822)

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a lacing off white head. Orange fruity hops and perhaps also mild bacterial infection. Mild creamy brett flavour with a mild orange fruity and slight wooden note. Light citric to dry woody finish. Nice yet once again presumeably not as intended.

Cask gravity at Battersea Beer Festival 2006. Copper colour with thin white head. Bitter aroma. Quite full in mouth with some cream, even coffee. As a strong bitter, it’s good.
