Bottled. Nut brown with rich head. Citrusy hop aroma. Medium dry and pleasantly malty with resiny hoppy finsih. Perhaps not overly complex, but elegant & tasty when fresh.

Redish beer that loses its fizz and head very quickly. The aroma and flavour are just hopped, meaning that the beer comes across as just a standard English well hopped ale.

Bottled. Nut brown. Vague orangey nose. Sweet and flowery with light body and syrupy mouthfeel. Notes of honey in the sticky sweet finish with very little hop presence. A one-dimensional ale seemingly inspired by cheap malt liquor.

Bottled 500ml. -from local Metro supermarket. Clear amber coloured, medium sized off-white head, touch of toffee in the nose. Malty, dry toffee and light hoppy with mild notes of fruits. also dry finish. Ok beer but it doesn’t really deserve 4.1 that I’ve rated it at my RB beginnings.
Old rating: Bottled(500ml). -excellant beer much better than Bishops Finger good body, palate and great aroma. 8/4/8/4/17

Bottled 500ml. -from local Metro supermarket. Nice pale brown coloured, medium size pale beige head, light toasted malt in the nose with hint of alcohol. Dry malty, light fruity (apple) and quite bitter taste with discreet touch of alcohol in the finish. I’ve overat it before but not much.
Bottled(500ml). -very good beer with fruit flavours, well hopped but Spitfire is better. 7/4/7/4/15

[Draught, 20-11-2002] Amber color, thin collar, nice lace. Pretty good, but a little metallic; strong hop character, medium malt.
[Bottle, 16-07-2002, 5-4-5-3-12] Bitter ale, without peculiarities.
