Wow, what a beer. Not liked it before when it has travelled a long way in cask - but at the home in consiton - its a difficult one to beat! jibber (3), England does not count | 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 27, 2005 This was a beautifully balanced, flavoursome beer. I had the pleasure of sampling this from the brewery in Coniston and again in Ambleside. Hoppy and rich, yet easy to drink. tinylion (2), Corbridge, England does not count | 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Jul 20, 2006 I love this beer. Golden coloured and hoppy on the palate, and a real good session bitter. I drank more than a few pints of this and no hangover in the morning! alfa (12), Canterbury, England

Very nice creamy mouth feel, feels and looks almost like it was cask but I do not think it was. Nice clean crisp English hops with some light apple flavor. ClarkVV (3578), Allston, Massachusetts, USA

Zangy hop taste, with a wonderfully challenging bitter finish. I would drink this over most other beers on tap at my local english pub. Taste goes a little flat and dry, but that probably because im drinking it in america.
