Deep copper coloured, strong bitter. Packed full of malty character and dry, lingering hoppy finish. Not too sweet as some stronger ales are.

DruncanVeasey (4800) - NUNEATON, Conference North, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - MAY 9, 2011
Bottle from Booth’s, Ilkley, West Yorks. Pleasant-drinking, fat-bodied bronze bitter with a fullness of character and a shortbread and faint Turkish Delight quality that reminds me of a) most (non-BrewDog) bottled Scottish beers of 4-5%, b) a crappy, powdery US IPA and C).... peach flavoured Smarties? The peachiness tires quickly I can’t tell tell you what a relief it is after the bottle of Tirril Academy Ale I’ve just poured down the sink.

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JAN 8, 2010
Cask. A hazy amber beer with a dense off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt and nuts. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of nuts as well as medium notes of citrus, leading to a dry nutty finish. The mouthfeel is quite sparkling for a cask ale.

Bottle that dad picked up from Congleton brewery tap (cheers dad), consumed Dinmore, Herefordshire 27-12-09 Pours warm gold with white head. The nose is a little soapy hops. There is some citrus in the mouth, its pleasantly bitter and another step up from the Barnsley beers that we’ve just had. A6 A4 F7 P3 Ov13 3.3
