Apr 27, 2004 Cask. Cloudy, robust orange glow. Lightly bitter dark wheat wrapped around cloth - aroma.
Peaches, moss and apple leaves, left me wanting more until I realized it was just above 4% ABV.
Slightly spicy, tangy and earthy finish

Apr 24, 2004 cask-conditioned - handpull: Orange amber. Patchy, off-white foam layer. Leather, dried apricot, and mineral in the aroma bolstered by extremely soft maltiness and light notes of caramel, nuts, and tangy, perfumey hops (most likely Target). Soft, fairly grainy mouthfeel. Grainy malt textures combine with an abundance of spicy, earthy elements. Bushy hops emerge at the center and become full-blown by the finish with lightly roasted nuts and biscuity malts. Remarkably soft malt profile. Mild chalkiness lingers alongside subdued apple fruitiness and tangy, earthy hops. Simplistic, earthy example. This pretty much sums up my aversion toward Target.

Apr 17, 2004 4/17/04: Bottle.
Orange-brown body with a thin rim of off-white colored head. Sour nose. Compared to the nose, the taste is surprisingly slightly sweet (some floral and caramel). Malt and hops are blended quite nicely. Pleasant finish which is quite refreshing.
Note to self: very cool bottle with "Adnams" molded into the glass. Interesting label application as well.

Apr 14, 2004 Clear, amber-hued appearance, full, fresh, fluffy, 1/2" off-white head.
Aroma: soft and creamy, notes of honey and herbs, sweet and full of promise.
Taste: mild hops, smooth malt, extra easy on the tongue, a quick trip down the throat. A little more fruit and tingly hops shows up further on, just a touch of bitterness, but mostly it's a mellow affair, creamy and easy to toss back.
As bitters go, pretty damn nice, richly flavorful, pretty tasty.
Hey, I like it!

Apr 9, 2004 Clear, reddish-brown apearance with a large, lasting tan head. Reserved nose of roasted malt. Earthy bitterness develops after a malty, slightly sweet start. Dry, lingering finish with a touch of fruit.
