Bottled. Clear orange coloured with a white head. Aroma of malts, caramel and hops. Flavour of malts, caramel, fruits and hops.

Pours a dark brown colour and has a grassy malty aroma. In the taste its malty and hoppy a pretty good bitter.

Crisp, hopped, grassy flavours, but with some underlying malt character. Decent, not great.

Original badger beer not much depth of flavour but ok once in a while if u like beers like this heavy enough tastering i suppose

Drinkable, quite a full flavour, fairly decently hopped, but just misses the boat somewhere.

Some caramel came through. Malt present. Standard and dependable fare. Nice bitter ale.

Bottled. Pours a real amber colour with a soft head. The beer is smooth with a hoppy favour with a soft malt substructure. Pleasant but not a stand out.

Dark amber, nice head. The aroma is both hoppy and malty. The flavour is quite full and smooth with brief sweetness and a refreshing bitterness. It has notes of roasted malt and the brew has a nice balance and is quite charming.

Bottle. Amber with a large beige mostly diminishing head. Aroma of some malt and hops. Moderate bitter hoppy flavour with a light roasty maltiness, some sweetness. Moderate bitter finish. A tasty English ale.

Bottle 08/09/2001 Mid brown in colour with a slightly gassy aroma. This is fortunately somewhat alleviated by the malt finish.

A superior beer to the newer vertion, though this bottle was a litle out of date. Aroma is balanced, with some toffee malt, minimal though. Taste is similar heading more towards the bittering/grassy hops, still very light though. Alright.
