Medium malty aroma, with, yes, an apple component. Would I have known without reading the commercial description? Who knows. But it’s there. Dark amber color with a head that doesn’t stick. Starts medium thin with an apple peel / malt mix. Gets thinner. A rather clean taste. The malt fades, and some bitter is for the finish. But it’s not all that hoppy. I grew up with water that had hydrogen sulpide. There’s a hint of that. (refer to the C.D.) Sharp, crisp, yes. A bit watery though. Really refreshing. Retro. Celtic.

Can on the train from Cardiff to Paddington. Dark brown body topped by a creamy white head. Smell of roasted barley. Unusual taste that is hard to identify - maybe a touch of sallow, dried vegetables and fruit. Not particular flavoursome. Rather vain attempt of a bitter (03.02.2007).

Copper brown, good creamy off-white head. Nutty, toffeish aroma. Malty flavor and aftertaste with late nutty-hoppy bitterness. Nice balanced real ale.

Cask. Nice clear copper colour. Quite rough and unpleasant bitterness. Green apple flavour. Gets a bit maltier as you get used to the bitterness.

Cask at the Wharf. Sourish puke aroma. Has a lambik-like sourness, which is actually and surprisingly quite nice. Not something you get very often in cask ale, and probably not intended. Clear dark brown colour.
