Very foxy beer with a golden shine; good yellowish head, short lived. Slightly smoked, bit cookie nose, subdued. Sweet, biscuity, toasted flavours, but with an empty palate. Not light, bit empty in the palate, all the while being fizzy, slick and even oily. Sweet ale. I suppose it’s much better on cask. Thanks to Stefaan

Small white head over deep grain-golden beer. Very grainy, near chaff-like aroma, but some whiffs of typical UK hops. Rather sweet, malty taste, even maize-like. Hops are virtually untraceable in the taste. Gets honey, even jam-like. Water MF, despite the slickness from all the unfermented sugars. Very ho-hum ale. Interesting, but nothing more. Thanks to world traveler Stefaan

Deep black in colour, with a light roast malt nose, and a complex rounded roast malt flavour with a pleasent linger.

500ml bottle brought back from Cardiff and shared with CinnamonGirl and Finn in Tromsø.
Unclear, light orange body. Medium white head. Poor in aroma apart for some wheaty notes. Pleasant, but fragile flavour of succulent fruits and herbal hops. Moderate finishing bitterness. Easy to quaff and certainly a session beer for the summertime (18.04.2007).

As Hurns Old Style Bitter. A hazy dark orange beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is sweet with a grassy hop note as well as notes of fruit, and light notes of diacethyl. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as some fruit, leading to a dry bitter end, that also has hints of metal.

Half pint handpulled at The Cayo Arms in Cardiff, Dark brown body, slightly unclear. Smell of dark fruits. Complex flavour containing plums, dark caramel, honey, nuts and bitterness towards the end. Gives a dusty and grassy impression (02.02.2007).

Cask, half pint at The Cayo Arms, Cardiff. Amber coloured body under a filmy, white layer. Great laceworks. Fresh hoppy citrus smell. Orange peel in flavour with hints of grapefruit sweetness. Nice bitter ending. Moderate mouthfeel. Moreish (possible the best brew I had during two days in Cardiff, 02.02.2007).
