JoeMcPhee (3807), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Oct 17, 2007 Pale golden beer with a thin white head. Aroma is nice and fruity. Light spicy aroma with a strong fruity blackberry character over a soft earthy malt base. Flavour is well integrated with lean UK base malts adding a bit of graininess that accents the earthy hops. Lingering spicy finish. An excellent bitter. jjpm74 (3110), Stratford, CT 06614, Connecticut, USA Oct 10, 2005 Pours rosey amber with a thin off-white head. Smells of sugar, pine, rosemary, oranges and grapefruit. Tastes sugary with nice orangey notes and a big pine/grapefruit finish. whaleman (2168), North Wales, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 20, 2004 Pours a hazy copper body with a collapsing, foamy off-white head. Nose of fresh, spicy, earthy hops and a calcium carbonate quality. Just a hint of diacetyl. Flavor is slightly nutty with more of that fresh, spicy hop character. Another "rotten good" beer from an idyllic brewpub.
