Well it was the name that drew me to this one! Nice and mild, with a non-overpowering flavor. This was a really mild and almost weak ale. Good, but hard to judge.

Bottle. Copper brown color with a thin head that manages to leave a ring to the finish. Fruity and malty aroma with a little floral hops and basement floor in the background. Slightly sweet malt flavor with some roasted malt and fruit. Has an earthy hop character and a little butter in the background. Well balanced. Thin but creamy mouthfeel and a quick fairly dry finish. I liked this. Can you say session beer?

Brilliant red-mahogany color, coarse, dissipating head. Spicy, herbal hop aromas. Butterscotchy, caramel malt flavors with firm, spicy hop bitterness. Nothing to complain about, nothing to rave about.

Bottle from Metro Wines, Syston, Leicester. Fruitcake aroma, and red/brown colouring with a deep bed of loose beige froth. Luscious flavour, with some orange and cherry on a background of solid malt, which expands through the finish, becoming very bready. A very tasty darker ale. Better than expected and another good Youngs product.

Medium amber. Sweeter malt aroma, a little bit of honey. Sweet malt flavor again, light fruit, some hops lurking around. Medium body. Not bad.

Poured with a massive head that remained as 1/3 of the glass even after a full minute ... nice. Decent caramel aroma and OK roasty/caramel flavors. But the beer is really thin, surprisingly, it's major downfall.

A well balanced beer. A dark color with a mild hops taste. Too bad they don't sell it stateside anymore!
