Aug 21, 2008 Bottle, Ale Cellar, Darlington. Seem to recall having this at Quinns years ago;
It didn’t make a lasting impression then and was similar on this occasion too. Poured a muddy orangey brown with a thin tan head. Spicy, yeasty,fruity aroma. Flavour slightly cloying with caramel, yeast and alcohol which overwhelms the spice. Something slightly clumsy and boozy about this which just isn’t that enjoyable. Won’t be seeking out again.

Aug 17, 2008 Looks great in the glass - light hazel with mild carbonation, a white head the goes away quickly. Aroma is mild but dominated by coriander, clove and citrus (the 3 Cs you shouldn’t have in a beer). Tastes malty, creamy and thick at first but finishes dry, sticky and slightly bitter. Good, but not my first recommendation.

Aug 11, 2008 Pours an amber-brown with noticeable sediment and a bubbly off-white head that persists and leaves thin lacing. A sour-fruit aroma with some spicy notes. Crisp, bright, very carbonated with a light mouthfeel. Spicy start with some sweet, fruity flavors, something like apricot, amd a slightly sour finish with a lingering aftertaste.
