Ethereal (894), London, Greater London, England Aug 20, 2007 Bottle at The Dorset Arms, Lewes, 18th August 2007. Not sure if I got a sole bad bottle, but this did not have the essential character of the Old Ale (which I love). It had the essential character of diacetyl! Poured a carbonated mid brown, with a strong butterscotch aroma (uh oh) that carried over into the taste (which is extremely sweet) and capped off by the slippery mouthfeel. Even at only £1.05 a bottle, I’m not inclined to try it again... Joeh (1892), Buckinghamshire, England Mar 14, 2004 Bottled (275ml). So, this is an OK beer, better than the John Hop low alcohol beer.. more body. Dark & sweet. It's not something I would ever bother drinking again.
