Golden coloured with some wheat and hop aromas. Lasting bitter malt finish.

Aug 2, 2004 Cask@Chelmsford BF. Quite corny, but oddly as a slight burnt malt flavour comes through, didn’t really sit well with me to be honest, corn on the cob.

Jul 29, 2004 Beer #22 at Chelmsford Beer Festival, with Duff. I have to echo some of the other comments here about it not being a typical summer ale. Not that crisp and I detected distinct smoky notes in the aroma and a sort of burnt corn on the cob taste. Weird, but intriguing. Cask (gravity dispense).

Jul 25, 2004 Gravity at Olde Dolphin Inn Beer Festival, Derby. Strange - a faint whiff of chocolate? Really rather malty, not particularly crisp or refreshing, not what I’d expected.

Started off ok, but has some weird roasty/caramel aftertaste that isn’t at home in a summer ale.

Bright golden colour, shiny white head. A little short on flavour, especially given the quality of their bottled beers. I must say that I was excited to see it on but disappoint at the result. For better or worse everyone’s doing a summer ale this year.
