Cask-conditioned at the Lamb, Iron Acton, Gloucs. Near orange with a slight white head. Sweet aroma of figs and almonds. Flavour started sweet before the bitterness kicked in. Hard to categorise but ok.

Cask conditioned at Ric’s pub, the multi-award winning Old Spot in Dursley, Gloucs. A well-balanced amber bitter with a fruity aroma and hoppy palate. Very drinkable.

Cask at GBBF 2006. A hazy pale orange beer with a bubbly thin off white head. The aroma is quite light with notes of malt and hops - too light for my liking. The flavor is sweet malty with quite strong notes of citrus, leading to a dry bitter end, but the body is thin. A thin but quite refreshing beer.

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.
