Morland Tanners Jack (Bottle)

Brewed by Greene King
Style: Bitter
Bury St. Edmunds, England

Bottle. Light brown color, with a small off-white head. Has an aroma of hops and stale malt. Starts off tasting okay, with a good hop flavor and some caramel in the malt, but then trails off to a stale and sugary finish.

Medium ornage body with a slight off white head. The aroma is iced tea with some caramel and light toffee. There is also some earthy dirt goodness. The taste is light toffee with some bitter tea and some grapefruit rinds. This could use a little more malt to balance out the dry finish. Otherwise, an ok bitter.

Orange tinted Amber colour...quick dissolving off-white head. Aroma is fairly skunky. Slightly acidic taste with odd-flavours. Not a great beer, but not a bad beer!

Big skunk on opening. Pours clear light copper with a large-bubbled beige head. Poor retention. As the skunk subsides a malty, nutty toffee aroma develops. Some vanilla is present too. Smooth mouthfeel, light body. Sweet malt with a bitter slightly metallic finish. Skunky hops linger. Not bad, but I’d like to try this on cask rather than a clear bottle.

Bottled. Reddish copper colour with mediumsized foamy head. Fruity hoppy aroma. Bitter fruitish/berryish flavour with hoppy notes. Standard bitter.

Bottle. Pours orange with a white head. Sweet malt aroma with a bit of floral hops. Light body. Flavor is sweet, a bit nutty, almost toasty, with floral hops. Not bad.

Pours dark amber with a 1 finger fizzy beige head that has good retention and leaves decent lacing. Aroma is grainy malt, grass, a little skunk, toasted wood, planty hops and mild flora hops. Flavor is toffee, grainy malt, toasted biscuit, slightly skunky hops, apple, butter, grass and burnt marshmallow. Finish is slightly bitter and earthy. Palate is thin and oddly very slick. Overall this is a decent but somewhat underwhelming brew.

Decent taste. SMELLS LIKE A SKUNK! Repugnent! But the after taste is nice. It’s hoppy and sticks around.
