Cask conditioned at the Old Crown, Uley 23 Dec 2006. Beer served in what comes closest to the brewery tap. Presented in fine condition with a pronounced fruity aroma, with the primarily malty taste being complemented by decent hopping in the finish.

Cask Small white rim over dark red-chestnut beer. Earthy, leafy and slightly (sweet-)bready notes, as eggbread. Malty, sweet, good quality malts. Sweet, again bread or patisserie-lik malts, with a discreet afterthough of ligthly bitter hops. Retronasal there’s a flavour as from "Haagse Hopjes (Dutch coffee caramels; even a bit smokey, warming up. Medium bodied at best, a bit slick. Filled in by restsugars. OK beer, quite nice. Just not Strong - as the pumpclip adds to the above name.

Cask (Westend, Stratford upon Avon): Deep golden to light amber coloured, small lacing white head; honey, fruit and aromatic herbal hops in the nose; soft but distinctive bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; a mix of fruit, malt and hops in the shorter finish. A fine brew..........

Cask gravity at Reading BF 06. Ruby/chestnut colour. Some choc, some fruit, tastes like an ESB should do. Doesn’t hit the heights, but competent enough.

Merton Beer Festival Sept 2004. Red/brown in colour much like the description say’s, very nice aroma, and a wonderful full flavoured pint, plenty of malt not to sweet great depth simple excellent. Uley beers are without doubt superb when served well and are one of my favourite’s I find they have quite a unique taste and they are almost always extremely good. I remember having a brewery trip with Worcester CAMRA there back in the early nineties we were left with a glass and the cellar shown the Old Spot, Uley Bitter and Pigor Mortis (sadly no more) as someone went looking for the brewer who was at home. We had about three hours merrily drinking on a glorious summers day and happily helped ourselves like we were instructed what a wonderful day, we were truly wellied by the time the brewer eventually turned up.

Cask, gravity at Merton Beer Festival Sept 2004 . Uley beers are one of my favourite’s I find they have quite a unique taste and they are almost always extremely good. Quite a fruity nose leads too a very good balanced beer with some lingering hops at the end. I really like this beer.

A7 A3 T8 P4 Ov16 3.8 Had this again On cask, handpump at The Tunnel House Inn, Nr Coates, Glos, 29.05.11 Pours amber in colour with a filmy white head, rustic, earthy and fruity bitter and I’m sure that the local water around here really gives beers such as this and Nailsworth, Donnington, Lechlade and to a lesser extent Wickwar a distinctive taste as though from that area but Uley I always find are the most characterful. It finishes with a hint of cocoa powder and whilst not quite as good as I’ve had it in the past its still remains a very nice drop. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A slightly hazy orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is slightly sulphury, while the flavor is very grassy and dry, with a bitter hoppy end.
