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.

Dark ruby red. Full bodied. Fruity and flavourful. Some alcohol-flavour.....

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.
