Jul 6, 2009 Bottle from Waitrose. I have not tried this beer since it moved away from it’s namesake town and I don’t intend to either. Orange/copper colour with nettle and pepper hop aroma. Lovely body with silky malts and ample balancing english hop bitterness. Fruity and packed with flavours.

Jun 27, 2009 Slightly hazy, dark burnt orange brew with 1" of tan cap. Man, the colour is great! Decent retention and some slippery ropy lacing. The aroma is awesome and I wavered giving it a 10. Strong fragrant fruity / spicy hops (a mix of dark and citrus fruits). Biscuit and a bit of caramel malts. Best ever? Pretty much. The taste is biscuit and caramel with a large presence of spicy hops. The impression of alcohol is made without really noticing it. The flavour wanes during warming as the aroma was more dominant than the taste, especially early on. Cocoa and lots of pepper. Stiff bitterness prevails. A good smooth carbonation paves the way for the malty middle but that malts weakens significantly at the end of the sip. Near medium bodied. The hops hit with a good spicy burn (alc?) to finish you off. Excellent beer.

Jun 23, 2009 Tasted great after a long work week. Just a shame it’s not available in too many places around me.

Jun 19, 2009 Updated: Sep 29, 2009This is UK IPA. I’m on a rating hiatus . i’m only drinking Orval ,Rochefort 8 and Pina Colada.;)...but was drinking this and became inspired . This really does resemble Meantiimes IPA in using Fuggle hops as great architecture. Juicy MALT...Peppery,spicy hops doing the conga ..with boozy oranges .Heaps better than other beerz in Young’s ’profolio’.

Jun 11, 2009 Dark golden brown body with a noisy off white cap, retention is ok but no lacing what so ever. Aroma very mild and hard to detect but honey and bready malts are noticeable. Wood and mild rubbing alcohol are the first flavours I notice, secondary flavours are liquorish, caraway seeds, and maybe honey. Mouth feel is light a nicely carbonated but a burning sensation remains on my tung. Very clean and crisp and enjoyable you cant go wrong with this beer.
