Oct 19, 2006 Clear and deep copper coloured with a brownish tint. Thin layer of foam. Ripe fruit notes in aroma. Moderate bitter sweet flavour with a component of dark berries and malty hints behind. Rounded taste. An average English bitter (Half on gravity at The St Albans Beer Festival, 28.09.2006).

Jul 23, 2006 A Mes rate: Cask at a JDW somewhere. Almost very good but there is an awful metalic overtone that hangs around like a bad smell. Nose is actually pretty good. Delicate spice and some vanilla and just a dab of tobacco. Copper colour. Reasonably hoppy and malty and that is pretty much it really. Slight sweetness and some berries. Not the most complex of beers. Looking at the rest of the rates and no one mentioning the strong metal that I noted, then I think there may have been something wrong with my sample. I ended up feeling like i had bitten my lip and I had blood in my mouth.

Jan 13, 2006 Cask, Derby Winter Fest 06. Brown and red with a bubbly head. Aromas are malty with chocolate and berries has a decent level of hopping. Flavours are properly malty with berries. Sweet and fruity with a slight sourness on the finish. Decent.

does not count  Sep 7, 2005 Much improved over previous samples of it - above average. Nice colour, and pleasant hoppiness - malty too, but in perfect balance.
