Merton Beer Festival Sept 2004. Red/brown in colour much like the description say’s, very nice aroma, and a wonderful full flavoured pint, plenty of malt not to sweet great depth simple excellent. Uley beers are without doubt superb when served well and are one of my favourite’s I find they have quite a unique taste and they are almost always extremely good. I remember having a brewery trip with Worcester CAMRA there back in the early nineties we were left with a glass and the cellar shown the Old Spot, Uley Bitter and Pigor Mortis (sadly no more) as someone went looking for the brewer who was at home. We had about three hours merrily drinking on a glorious summers day and happily helped ourselves like we were instructed what a wonderful day, we were truly wellied by the time the brewer eventually turned up.

It was really awesoome, but the clip makes you have a vbery bad times when drinking it. The aroma and the flavor were great, and the foam great.

Cask (gravity dispense) at the Olde Dolphin Inn summer beer festival, Derby. Ah, something to get yer lips round after a long sesh of golden ales. Sweet malts and slightly pickled fruits. Loses its way a little toward a thin finish.

Cask conditioned - handpump - White Horse - Parsons Green London SW6. A mid brown beer with a sourish fruity alcohol aroma. The alcohol does come through later in the taste as does some fruit, but it is a bit thin.

Hand pulled at the White Horse, Parsons Green, London (as part of their Old Ale festival), with Joeh and Maeib. Bright brown, with no head and a nice brown sugar aroma. Fresh vegetable flavour - sugar cane, rhubarb. Interesting brittle mouthfeel. Only quite good.

Malty caramel/toffee aroma. Amber with poor head retention. Sweet toffee/honey taste with a slightly bland finish. Medium bodied. Not bad.

Cask conditioned at the White Horse, Parsons Green, London. Malty, indistinctive beer that lacks character compared to others today. It loses points, on another day with less stiff competition - who knows.
