A clear orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is hoppy and slightly metallic. The flavor is also very hoppy combined with notes of grass - but it is not my type of hops.

Bottle: Amber coloured, thin off-white head, long lasting; malty nose (some traces of cookies), some fruitiness (plums); full malt in the mouth, turning slowly into a light, but lasting, dry, hoppy aftertaste. Quite well rounded, well quaffable, a goodie......

Bottle. Brown colour, unstable white head. Peppery flavour with a hint of malt. Flavour is also a bit salty and possibly a little skunked. Bitterness is slightly harsh, but in a nice way.

Bottled (BB 04/2006)
Copper brown color, fine creamy tanned head. Strong pinewood-hoppy aroma with notes of toffee and ash. Medium-bodied. Flavor is mix of oaky hoppyness and caramelly sweetness, but sweetness is not dominating. Soft bitter aftertaste. Good session beer.

Cask conditioned at the Robin Hood & Little John, a large Greene King pub in Cherry Hinton, Cambridge. The Old Speck’ was in perfect nick, even better than the bottled version which I think is fairly decent for a pasteurized beer. Nut brown colour, low head. Aroma and flavour of nuts, toffee and caramel with a nice but not overdone hoppiness throughout. A solid pint from this ever-expanding regional (now national) brewery, much better than the cask Abbot Ale that I had afterwards.

Bottled. Ruby red colour with small white head. Hoppy nose. Fruitish hoppy sting at first, afterward the flavour turns sweeter. Caramellish hoppy aftertaste (bittersweet one). Refreshing.

Note to self: Do not buy a single bottle of beer in a clear bottle when the age of said bottle is not determinable. Clear orange-amber color with a thin light tan head and minimal lacing. Skunky dish rag smell. Light body, and possibly some hops under the gag-inducing sour skunk-barf flavor, but I did not care to investigate further. The finish, at least for me, involved spitting it out. I will be gunshy about this beer for a long time.
