Clear light honey coloured body with an off-white, medium sized, rocky head. Head didn’t fully last the distance but left lovely lacing. Aroma was of stewed fruit and resiny hops.Sweet fruit flavours, rhubarb, citrus, metallic, hint of caramel, medium body and a nice dryness. Cheers!

Golden brown ale, white lasting head. Fruity aroma dominated by red apples. Fruity flavour with more apples. Malty sweetness. On to a dry hoppy finish. Overall very good indeed.

UPDATED: NOV 19, 2006 (Bottled) Clear, reddish brown color with medium, firm-creamy and lacy head. Toffee-malty aroma with mild, aromatic hops, and rhum and marzipan hints. Sweetish-sugary, toffee-malty, hoppy and slightly oaky flavor with bubblegum and a quite long, bitter-hoppy finish. Medium-bodied, smoothly foamy palate. A quite pleasant, balancedly hopped and toffeeish autumn ale. Quite straightforward, though.

Light amber color. A dry Bitter, with a light hoppy nose and a quite strong final bitterness.

Bottled. Clear pale amber. Lightly flowery. Sharp and hard mouthfeel and a resiny bitter finish. Unbalanced.

Bottle. BBE Oct 04. Orange amber colour. I did several aggressive pours to get rid of the excess carbonation, but the mouthfeel is hard and unpleasant. Stewed hop flavour. Aroma of slightly damp straw. Neutral palate. Some sweetness going into a bitter finish which eventually ends dry. Tangy, orange hinted earthy hops. A little demerara sweetness pops up now and again - most often in the middle of the finish. The hoppy tang is a little too aggressive for my taste. Mostly decent enough, but I wasn't thrilled.

Bottled: Light amber coloured. Off white medium lasting dense head. Malt, sweetness and some light fruityness in the aroma. Thin flavour. NOtes of cocoa, malt and some apples. Very light bitter in the end.

Bottled. Blond ale classic style, this beer is very similar to Badger Champion ale. Hopy and gorgeous, the flavour fills the mouth. Silky and smooth beer slips down without any trouble.

Lots of hops went into brewing this one and it shows.Quite sweet with a dry aftertaste this is a pleasant bitter especially if you have a sweet tooth.Its named after a soap series set in Yorkshire.
