Bottled. Pasteurised.
A well balanced and full bodied beer demonstrating fruitiness, with the Crystal Malt content being distinctive. The hoppy mouth gives way to a sweeter finish.

Another fine ale from the UK. Nice grassy, herbal, flowery hops blend with biscuity malt and toffee. Very fruity yeast, nice dry well-hopped finish. Nice amber color, little head to speak of. Brings back the sights and sounds of England. A fine session ale.

We like it strong fruity aroma and good hoppy taste a quality full-bodied beer

Excellent within its genre. Strongly fruity aroma (cherry, blackberry), though that is less present in the flavor, which is perhaps because the hops and bitterness are so (too?) strong, right through the end of a long finish. Nice color (deep amber, reddish tinge) and excellent palate--tingles on the tongue but short of a carbonated fizz. Enjoyable beer.

Pours tea orange into an English pint. White micro head recedes to skim surface. Biscuit aromas. Full with caramel from front to back. Slight metallic toffee/cookie finish of medium length.

Bottle. Pours great amber with a slight haze. Small beige head. Dry aroma with a weak fruitiness and caramel. Well carbonated with clear fruitiness and a weak bitterness note. Ends with elderberries and a slight cherry note. The hops lends it a flowery note coupled with hazelnut in the aftertaste.

Colour is warm copper, small head. Sweet malty aroma. A bit of toffee and fruit flavours. Dryish aftertaste. A great beer.

This beer was amber colored with a moderate head and wispy lacing. It had a fine floral and spicy aroma-inviting. Soft on the tongue, really fresh tasting with a medium sweet maltiness and hoppy background. Finished smooth with just a little hop bitterness.
