Commercial Description:
Cask; Status uncertain. Also available bottle conditioned. Part of the Essex Towns & Villages series.
Traditional bitter with full body and a strong character. Brewed with best Maris Otter malted barley and three different hops. A prize winning ale.

500 ml bottle. Almost clear amber body with a small white head. Vague, sweet malty aroma with some fruitiness. Flavor is caramel malt and a hint of bitterness, very average flavor. A bit watery body and not to balanced. OK session bitter but to flavorless for me.

A Mes rate: Cask at Chelmsford Beer Festival. Nice amber colour. Sweet and malty with a tarty medicinal note. Nothing special.

Cask, gravity dispense at Woodford Beer Festival at The Duke, Woodford, Northants, 25-05-07. Everyone in our group hated this apart from me, described as ’tasting like sick’, ’tastes a bit sour’. Poured amber it had a slightly fruity nose, the taste was also quite fruity and despite some sweetness it really did have a bite to it, I quite liked it but on the other hand I wouldn’t rush to seek it out again there are a lot better beers out there.

Cask, GBBF 2006. A hazy orange beer with no head. The aroma is sweet fruity, while the flavor has slight notes of diacethyl, combined with notes of metal, leading to a dry end.

Cask @ GBBF 2006. Amber. Slightly soured, rrotten fruit aroma. Dry and bitter, spoiled. Strange.
