This chestnut-coloured beer is brewed using pale ale and crystal malt, which gives it a full-bodied flavour. A finely balanced hop character is enriched by the late addition of Styrian Goldings to give a prominent floral hop aroma and fuller flavour.

Cask half pint at The Lamplighter, St. Helier. Served at room temperature. Copper colour. Malty aroma and flavour, not very interesting. Might sample again if colder.

Can, 0.5l. Clear amber pour, one finger frothy off-white head. Good retention, thick lacing on the glass. Nose is strong caramel, grains and grassy hops in the background. Nicely herbal. Thin to medium body, soft carbonation. Light mouthfeel, soft texture. Mild bitter, a bit stronger in the sweet side. Aroma is malty, strong caramel and toffee. Lots of herbal notes, nicely peppery. Vague honey. Medium lasting finish, herbal and mildly bitter. Overall, decent bitter. A bit on the sweet side, but ok.

Hand-pulled cask pint in The Cock Hotel on 15th June 2018. Deep amber body, off-white blanket of foam on top. Nose and taste have a semi-sweet caramel front, light bitterness towards the finish. Much preferred the original Mitchells of Lancaster version from the 1990's.

Half pint (cask) at the Highlands. Dark amber capped with a creamy head. Malty aroma. Taste too is squarely on the malts, cask makes this exceptionally smooth, bready. Sublime. At first I didn't think much, but later came under its charismatic spell. Quite nice.

Nice amber color with a thick off white head. Floral hoppy and some toffee in the aroma. Ok body and an ok balnce between sweetness and bitterness. Soft carbonation. Floral hoppy, toffee and fruity flavor. Nice pleasant ale at the pub.
