3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20Bottled. Amber with a soft, fluffy, steadily rising head. Smooth hoppy flavour with a soft malt substructure. Elderflower notes but not as pronounced as their Champion Ale, a favourite of mine. Pleasant but not a stand out.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from the local Co-op. Copper colour with a beige head. Malt and fruit aroma. Caramel, malt and fruit flavour. Soft malt finish. Quite nice.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a dark brown colour and has a grassy malty aroma. In the taste its malty and hoppy a pretty good bitter.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Crisp, hopped, grassy flavours, but with some underlying malt character. Decent, not great.
1.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
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
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 3/20
Drinkable, quite a full flavour, fairly decently hopped, but just misses the boat somewhere.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Some caramel came through. Malt present. Standard and dependable fare.
Nice bitter ale.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
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.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
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.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle 08/09/2001
Mid brown in colour with a slightly gassy aroma. This is fortunately somewhat alleviated by the malt finish.
