Amber colour with a nice solid white head. Malty, grainy sweet aroma with notes of pear and some light hoppyness. Malty and sweet flavor with a fresh cereal note. Dry, light bitter finish.

This beer is very bland. The there is a defenitve taste of alchol and hops. The malt presence is very thin. I’m just not impressed.

Very biscuity nose. Golden straw coloured with a persistant head and some good lace. Flavour is a little sour from the start, with some ameliorating buttery malt but not a lot, building to a mainly yeasty and sour finish. A shame really, for an organic showing such - well - promise, but not fully delivering. Perhaps it would benefit from a bit of aging.

500ml brown bottle.Poured a clear gold with frothy white head and good lacing. Great toffee apple nose. Floral malt flavour. Nice lunchtime beer. Gave me the munchies. Mouthfeel OK with bitter grapefruit finish.

Pours a light amber color. Aromas of grains/corn?/some hops. Flavor is kind of bitter, some malt. I expected more.

This is another ale i sampled thinking it was just an own brand. Very similar in flavour to old speckled hen. I was pleasantly surprised to hear its a real beer brewed by a real company.

Mmm. Pours a darker golden colour. Aroma is not right im not sure what it is but it doesnt seemn right to me though there is some maltiness kickin in as it warms. Taste is just not upto par with the cask stuff, lightly malty with a dryish finsh but just not as good all round.

Bottle. Pours a golden color with white head and bubbles adhering to the side of the glass. Aroma of grains and herbacious flowers. The flavor is mostly raw barley with some floral hops and maybe some honey in the background.
