Quite a nutty bitter, hazelnut dryness with a dry tea flavour mixed in, not a favourite combination, but quite drinkable. Pretty standard overall. maeib (4737), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England

A copper coloured beer with a whitish head. The aroma is plain with a little fruit skins, and some sweet malts. The taste is malty to start with some citrus flavours coming through later. A bit boring. Made me realise why I rarely drink pints.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 13, 2006 Cask conditioned @ Gravity cask @ Hants Bowman, Dundridge. Quite fruity. Apples, pears and plums and a smooth bitterness. Fairly prominent yeasty flavours. Too much on the sweet side for me but the aroma is quite interesting. Too be fair this was slightly flat and getting towards the end of the barrel (av rating given).
