Bottled. A very dark red beer with a thin beige. It has a slight fruity aroma. The flavor is sweet with notes of fruits, berries, and malt, leading to a lightly bitter finish.

[Hand pumped, in England] Golden color. Poor aroma. Simple taste, pretty sweet, quite watery, some citrus fruitness, poor hop. Fresh, but too watery.

Re-rate Spicy hop aroma, some strawberries as well. Pours a chestnut color with a frothy white head. Spices, nuts and strawberry, minty citrus aftertaste. medium to light bodied. Happy I tried it again, the first sample I had was definetly bad.

Bottled version. Deep amber. The low carbonation gives a pleasant, soft mouthfeel. Malty and dry, but also slightly papery. Medium bitterness.

Definitely one of my favorites. Perfect at about 54 degrees, a great caramel and roasted malt flavor that lingers long. Can’t wait to try this on tap. Only qualms would be that it lacks a foretaste with much complexity, too carbonated in the bottle.

Apparently an effort from Theakston to attract cool people through cool ale. They can do better than that.

Milds are really not my favourite style among cask ales - most of them are, well, too mild... However, this one is probably about as good as a mild can get.
