3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle from Real Ale Store, Newark. Drunk during the Great North Run weekend. Traditional British bitter done very well. Touch of chocolate, orange juice, tangy - good fresh flavours - decent malty, decent hops. Yummy. I could drink beers like this all day long. Off points - a bit too bitter for my taste, and a little too thin and dry.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. It’s a dark amber colored beer with a small, off-white head. Strange fruity nose with some malts and an earthy touch. Rather herbal bitterness, some caramel in the flavor. Medium body, dry. Bitter finish. Hmm, not sure about this one, it sure didn’t suit my palate, but I can’t really point out what’s wrong. 110318
