A golden amber ale with copper hues, and a very thin white head. Cloying aroma of fake maple extract and strawberries. In mouth, a crisp sweetish malt with light metallic hops, watery and unremarkable. LCBO Spring 2010.

Medium brown head. Barely translucent dark red body. Fruity mealy roasty aroma with earthy metallic notes. Dry-sweetish earthy wild berry taste with roasty chocolatey notes. Mid-bodied. Mild mouthfeel. Dryish soy and roasty malts aftertaste with chocolatey herbal notes. very nice. Like a craft beer, but beautifully balanced. (0.5l bottle, RealAle.com.)

Medium beige head. Deep chestnut brown body. Faint floral aroma. Dry-sweetish fruity wooden taste. Mild mouthfeel. Not much flavour. Dry apricot and flowers aftertaste with mealy grassy notes. Nice, drinkable, but a bit bland. Could use more complexity. (0.5l bottle, RealAle.com.)

Bottle from Rainhall Drinks Co, Accrington. Opened to drink a toast to Guy + Noo’s arrival of a wee bundle of joy. A reddy amber pour with minimal head. Nose was sweetish with apple and booze notes. Flavour had sweet malt, with more fruitiness and alcohol. A bit of spice and bitterness towards the finish. Drinkable, but somewhat forgettable fayre. Sorry Betsy, should have cracked a better one in your honour. ...

(bottle) deep amber colour with negligible white head; very low carbonation; thin, bland, simple, barely any flavour or aroma at all; nothing outright bad, but seems very watered down and unexciting

A nice small 275ml bottle conditioned ale bought at The-real-ale-in-a-bottle-bar, GBBF 09. Comes with a brass-copper coloured foil around the neck and poured a bright amber coloured body, topped by a few bubbles to a thin, patchy surface. Sweet malts to the nose added by dark fruits. Dried fruits like raisin and apricot in flavour mingled with notes of caramel malts and with some spices, too. Warming alcohol and smooth in the mouth. Somewhat short on the finish. Rather sweet. Good, if not great (Tromsø, 15.02.2010).
