Bottle. Malty, earthy aroma and flavour. The earthiness/moldiness seems to me inappropriate in this beer. 5 3 4 3 9 Cask. Weak roasted aroma. Clear dark chestnut colour, small stable tan head. Very nice roasted nut flavour. Flavourful yet mild. Finishes on a good malty sweetness. 7 3 8 3 18

Orange-amber, hazy beer; amberish head, slim. Chalk, after some time good hops, liberally dosed. Hops to the fore in the taste, bit of cardboard. Turning then more citrussy, orange zest, but essentially lots of hopoil. Where the nose hinted to better hops, taste is definitely more Challenger, smothering the malt. Aftertaste turning a wee bit harsh. Light to medium bodied, slightly slick - again a reference to hop oils? Not bad, not exciting. I’d probably preferred Fuggles over Challenger. And please, somebody explain to me what’s so special about Maris Otter, apart from a funny name?

Cloudy orange ale with a light fruity aroma and a fruity hopped flavour. Overall a reasonable acidic tasting bitter beer.
