Dark brown coloured with a reddish hue. Some wheat flavour and a slightly dry full hop finish. Magicdave6 (5548), London, Greater London, England
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Oct 8, 2006 Aroma gives pure sulphur and cali hops. Taste also has some sulphur in it, sweet and unbalanced with that cali taste kicking about in it. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Oct 16, 2006 Cask conditioned @ Giddy Bridge (JDW), Soton. Caramelly biscuity malts with some nuttiness and a little yeast leading into a creamy sweet caramel body with a light smattering of bittering hops in the finish. A bit sweet for me.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 16, 2004 Cask Conditioned, at the Market Porter, Borough, London.
Tawny amber colour with a misty beige head. Sulphurous and sugar malt aroma. But this beer drinks surprisingly well. A solid bitter with a few variations to keep the crowds guessing.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 9, 2002 Bigger body than some Scots. Very fresh, and an oh so typical alcohol warming, but slightly more subtle than in others. In fact, everything here, the maltiness up front, the alcohol, is kinda mellow. The only thing more I can say regarding the refreshing authenticity of this ale is ’Aye, Captain, we need more dilithium crystals...’
