Hoppy aroma, oranges and resin, sometimes a hint of sulphur, caramelly malt. Full mouthfeel, initial malt sweetness and attacking hops, rounded and balanced, hops are prominent - there is no lag in flavour, no poor part of the palate. Lovely balanced bitter finish, malt and hops fight for attention, hops aren’t going anywhere. Lovely spicy, sitrus overtones come and go. Don’t want it through a sparkler, I like the natural caress. Needs a few weeks age in cellar. Hugely complex, what a yeast. PieTaster (32), Humpton, California, USA

Hops and big malt everywhere. Delicious at 50 degrees farenheit. eczematic (1211), Sydney, Australia

I have had this beer on many, many occasions, but never as good as this! It had a malty dishwater (perfect!) aroma. The flowery hop taste added to the experience. And, to round it off, a lovely biscuity aftertaste. RERATE: Cask @ Peveril of the Peak, Manchester, UK 27 Jan 2005 This sample was slightly sour.
