Jun 14, 2005 Thin off-white head; hazy red-amber beer. Rich biscuity nose, like a soft biscuit cake with brandy; dry hops delivering a background, grapey in character. Very hoppy drink with a touch of bitter chocolate, malts, but also chocolate cake. Quite nice and flavoursome, unfortunately not so the finish, which is harsh and thin - just indefinite and long bitterness, with a quaint touch of mint. Quite burnt MF, medium to full bodied, thinner finish and even adstringent. God, how such a promising beer can be ruined in the end. Still, not bad - just 95% USA and only 5% English, IMO.

Jun 11, 2005 Dark orange colored, thin disappearing tan head. Weak creamy and hoppy aroma with herb and grass tones. Harsh in the flavor, notes of hop and grass with a dry bitter end. Foamy mouthful. Pretty uninteresting.

Jun 9, 2005 Amber, golden. Quickly disappearing head. This beer is not very interesting. Alcohol is very well hidden. I find slightly artificial and metallic. Otherwise is it accetable.

Jun 7, 2005 Pours ruby/brown with a tiny head. This beer reminded me of DFH raison d’etre for some reason. Taste is malty and boozy. Very sweet. The 7% is well received.

Jun 7, 2005 Clear cherrywood amber under an average white head that had better places to be than atop this beer. Aroma of malt, biscuits, hay, some toffee and a little hops. Pretty conservative flavor - mostly malt, a touch of caramel, a little citrus and a cameo appearance of hops. Finish was quick, dry and nothing special. Hampshire "Special" is anything but. Just an ordinary beer.

Jun 7, 2005 Bottled. Amber coloured. Some maltiness and some hoppiness in the aroma and in the flavour. Rather boring.

Jun 4, 2005 poured dark amber, with a quick to diminish head. aroma is os of sweet caramel. The flavor is hoppy, sweeet, and complex. Great beer, especially from a grocery store.
