Surprisingly light in body, good malty flavours with hops very much in the background. Finish is ok, with the malt character lingering well. Good beer, but was hoping for something a bit more complex. Asda, Carlisle.

Jul 10, 2009 Cask. Amber to light brown with a reasonable white head. Tasted of toffee and malts. Very highly carbonated, short finish. Reasonable but a little average.

Aug 30, 2008 500ml bottle. Not bottle conditioned. Poured a dark amber/red with a large white head which quickly susided although traces remained throughout the glass.Like previous rater I found the taste disappointing, malty with only a little bitterness and perhaps a little toffee taste but nothing as good as the appearance suggests. In fact I must have been so disapponted that I have just spilt half the glass!

Apr 12, 2008 Cask at Coventry Beer Festival 08. Brownish amber. Comforting sweet aroma of honey, even maple syrup. Taste was a disappointment: some pear fruit, but thin and watery with just a hint of bitterness.

Nov 20, 2007 Cask, Alloa Beer Festival 07. Clear chestnut, thin white head. Malty, sweet and some orangey taste in the nose. Mouth is malty, brackish, slightly sour. Watery on the palate with a sour weirdness you’d expect at the end of a bad mild. Not great.
