From a 330ml bottleon 4/10/2015. Pours a clear golden with a sall white head. The aroma features some grain and fruity esters, coming across a touch stale. Flavour wise there’s some bready malt and some sweet fruit, with a very modest bitterness finishing things off. Light bodied with average carbonation. A very mediocre, uninspiring pale ale.

(Bottle) Clear yellow with transient thin loose white head. Unpleasant aroma of damp cardboard with hints of candy. Palate is light, fizzy and refreshing, but not refined. Taste is better than the aroma suggests, but it isn’t good. It starts with some fairly thin watery maltiness - but it doesn’t come over as all high quality malted barley. Then in the mid palate this already thin taste falls away to a vague watery tartness, from which develops some bitterness for the finish; unfortunately it’s not a pleasant bitterness. Drinkable, but I won’t have another.

(Bottle) Clear pale gold with transient loose head. Fairly unpleasant aroma with corn, cardboard and some floral hints. Light body, coarse carbonation. Unpleasant taste - odd corn grain flavour with a little nondescript acidity at start and some harsh bitterness in finish. A beer to avoid (maybe they are trying to recreate the original 1796 corn and apple stick recipe?).
