Pours copper with an off-white small head.Nose shows sweetness... lots of sweetness. Apple juice, grape juice, brown sugar, honey, etc, etc. A bit sickly really.Flavours show some of the same sweetness but is very watery! Some cidery notes, finishes with a bland mild bitterness.Very watery body too, And low carbonation which doesn’t work at all.Needs a lot more malt, both for flavour and body.a

Pours rich amber with a small head.Nose shows lovely nutty, toffee and caramel notes, very appetising.Flavours are exactly the same but with that addition of some hazelnut praline.Moderate carbonation, could be higher really.

Cask at the Cleveland Arms, London. Pours a clear, ruby-chestnut with a thin, white head. Fuity malt aroma with light nuts. Sweet, semi-boozy flavor with mild grape and cherry, and faint, earthy bitterness. Medium in body with soft carbonation. Some alcohol notes in the finish, with wood, dark malts and modest hops. So so.

Bright amber colour. The aroma is a bit minerally, caramelly. Caramel accent but balanced. Finishes with a light yeasty fruitiness. Not - in my view - their best brew.

Deep gold colour. The aroma has soft herbal hops and maybe a little yeast spiciness. Mild, sweetish malt character with light hops. Nothing wrong with it.
