A red beer with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of fruit especially peach as well as yeast. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of peach and a dry hoppy end.

(Bottle 50 cl) 5.5% ABV in my version. Neat amber coloured beer with a small, dense head. Very soft and smooth with notes of lightly sweet caramel and a wee touch of smoke. 200500

Ushers makes this now? Damn English brewing consolidation, hard for us over here to keep track of this stuff. Anyway, great malty old ale - robust, good development of earthy, lightly chewy malt flavours.

Amber colour. Very nice hop aroma, herbal. Some sweetness, light malt; good hopping, but spoiled by a metallic sensation. The palate doesn’t keep what the aroma promises.

Bottled, Pasteurised. An amber beer with light fluffy head. This is the 5.5% version which has a slightly tart malty start, a little sweetness and a pungent alcohol nose. Fair hop balance, good citric flavours. A pleasant drinkable beer.
