Feb 6, 2001 My absolute favorite beer, dry, almost wine like smoothness with a hint of a bite at first sip. Lingering mellow aftertaste.

Aug 28, 2001 Quite nice. Plenty sweetish malt, but enough hops to keep it squarely English. Goes well with pork dishes, and stands up to spicy food.

Jul 2, 2003 Color is a nice orangy brownish honey color, nearly amber, displayed well in its clear thin necked bottle, an off-white creamy head arrives about a finger high, fades fast and has good sticky lace in stings and spots. Smell is slightly yeasty, floral hops, and a favorable amount of caramel malts lending a sweet touch. Taste is balanced with a crisp hop bite, barely spiced of peppery woodyness and pine, mixing dark but sweet orange and caramel malts, the malts really keep a good hold through out. Good medium body and smooth mouthfeel thats lightly buttery. One of the better English Ales I've enjoyed in sometime.

Mar 28, 2005 This is a good-looking ale, from the classic bottle, which is the same as the Speckled Hen, nice label, it feels good to hold the ale. The color is a clear amber. this ale is sweet, and goes down very easily. Very hoppy.

Oct 5, 2009 Just saw the cask of this. Nice. Gotta get a hold of one of those. As far as this beer goes, it’s wonderful. Imported by Total Beverage Solution in SC, USA, this English ale is very smooth, with a nice hoppy finish. Slightly sweet on the tongue, smooth and hops aftertaste.

Apr 14, 2003 Nothing to knock your socks off, just a clean, nice tasting English ale with a great aroma.

Jan 30, 2006 Updated: Feb 15, 2006Looked a bit ’thin’ and fizzywhen I poured it, but lovelymalty smell and mouthfeel. Malty, caramel, sugar , sweet toffee. Enjoyable beer. I had ’speckled hen’ few years back, but didn’t enjot it, either bad bottle or I had not weaned myself off lager then! However I thoroughly enjoyed this one...........reduced to 79p per bottle at local Asda.
