Feb 10, 2006 A nice brew much akin to Old Speckled Hen though not as powerful. A wonderful malty aroma, a lovely malty biscuity clean taste. Nice stuff.

Feb 5, 2006 Pours a deep golden bronze hue. Sticky, creamy off white head. Grain, yeast nose. Grainy, dougy yeast, pale biscuity malts, slight metallic hop notes. Finishing grassy with bitter metallic hops. I used to love this before I really decided that flavorful beers were important to me. A great session drinker, but mostly thin and watery and bland. Touch my tootsies and float me down the river Mr. Bluebird.

Feb 5, 2006 Had this in Westermere, the Lake District. Orange amber, aromas of pine resin and flowery hops. Soft malt with generous hop character and a moderately bitter finish. Excellent!

Jan 30, 2006 50cl bottle-pours a 2 finger high foamy light tan head with hazy gold color. Aroma is grassy, grain, skunky, earthy, floral and doughy. Taste is malt with a bit of a bite. OK effervescence, flat aftertaste. Faint hops (although brewer calls it intense). Date stamped L05-076.

Jan 29, 2006 Orange with thin white head. Slight honey and metallic nose. Thin on the palette, slight ice tea taste...maybe even a bit like Dr. Pepper pop. Kind of boring. Too bubbly and watery for me. I bet I’d like a lot more cask conditioned.

Jan 23, 2006 The bartender told me that this was a recent award winning beer and I can see why. Wonderful color and aroma with an equally good flavor. Well balanced and satisfying.

Jan 6, 2006 The aroma is floral, soapy, cheesy, and malty. The appearance is copper with a medium head and lots of small particulates. I would also like to mention that there is a metallic taste to it not unlike copper. Besides that it has an ok flavor that mirrors the aroma. There is soap, a mildly bitter hop, and plenty of sweet malt and yeast. The palate is just average. Overall it’s not terrible but not great either.
