Medium amber clear with a large beige medium lasting head. Woody hops. celery and hint of pot scouring paste aroma. Medium bitter hops and light roasted malt sweet start. Slightly sweeter malty middle and finish. Couldn’t find any fruity features in this one but a bit smoother than the usual bitter.

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A superior beer to the newer vertion, though this bottle was a litle out of date.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.
