Jan 4, 2007 A 1 pint .9 oz bottle with a freshness date on the label. The beer poured a cloudy copper color with a three finger tan head that lasts a long time. The smell is a citrus and hops all the way. The taste starts of with a good bitterness fallowed by a malty finish. A good pick!

Dec 31, 2006 Decent brew from Youngs, not as good as any of the other beers I’ve had from them, but I enjoyed this one. Heavy alcohol content, and a dry bitter flavor are the two main attractions to this one.

Dec 30, 2006 This is a very bitter, dry, hoppy ale from the Youngs boys. Lighter in colour than one would expect: chiefly an ambery copper. 6.4% in strength and tastes every percentile of that percentage. Fairly enjoyable if quaffed slowly on a winter day, but not what I would call a session beer; if you tried to neck more than two of these mothers, you’d be in big trouble! Also, beware - this is a living "real ale", classified thus by CAMRA as it matures in the bottle. So, beware that there is sediment in the bottle; leave just a little ale in the bottle when pouring as if you drink that sediment, you may well wake up with the squits in the morning!

Dec 28, 2006 Clear light copper color, ample frothy off-white head. Aroma is spicy with a bit of fruit and hops in the background. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Taste is sort of one dimensional, typical of english style ales - maltly with a dry finish.

Dec 27, 2006 Poured an effervescent golden with a large fizzy white head. Nice aroma of apples, pears, some dry alcohol and grassy hops. Flavor is dry with some floral essences, pear, and a touch of English grassy hops. Body is full and moderately fizzy. Somewhat dry finish with a bit of a metallic/cardboard aftertaste that makes the beer feel a bit more generic. Sort of a bizarre cross between an English and a Belgian ale. Not perfect, but this is a pretty nice English Strong.

Dec 25, 2006 Poured light bronze with a good sized cream colored head. The aroma had a good malt presence that seems creamy and fruity with an underlying hop presence. Not as full as I would expect. Medium / full body with a lot of pricly carbonation. Starts with fruity malt with some buttery notes and some spicy traits and buttery notes. Fairly rich tasting. If the butteriness was absent this will be a pretty good beer. I would like to taste it fresh, but it doesn’t look like that is an option anymore.

Dec 18, 2006 Top beer bought from the brewery shop. Left for a bit the head poured nicely. Some nice hop action. A little tangy for the first part. The best bottled Young’s beer.
