[Cask at GBBF 2005] A slightly hazy orange beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet fruity, with some metal notes from the hops, and a dry bitter end.

Almost opaque black, small brown head. Nose is a bit smokey with licorice and English hops aromas. Light-bodied, slightly chocolaty flavor. Mild dry and roasted aftertaste.

Cask at The Hogshead, Ipswich. My first Ringwood beer. Deep golden colour, light bodied, fruity flavour with a faint hint of barnyard. OKish, but not a favourite of mine.

Dark bitter with little aroma and a generally dry flavour. Overall a standard dry and watery English bitter.

Sampled cask conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm.
Amber coloured. Sweet and fruity. Short, rounded mouthfeel, lightly salty finish. Quite simple run of the mill bitter from an otherwise very good brewer.
