Light citrusy hoppy aroma. Golden hue with a good foamy white head. Malty with citrus hints and a long refreshing bitter dry finish. A classic English pale ale. Well worthy of its "finest" label. This beer is actually exclusive to Tesco selected from the beers at the Tesco beer challenge.

Deep golden colour, fizzy foamy head. Rich bready and yeasty smell, leafy, hoppy and yeasty aroma. Mild bitterness. A lovely session ale.

Red amber and draped with lace. Wafts with robust hopcone sweatiness, chalk and toffee. Demerara really apparent now I’ve read the bottle, but kept in check with a big, ripe, orange-accented dose of hops. Silky, slatey, slightly floral. No-nonsense hop bitterness smoothed out with creamy, faintly chocolatey malt. Aftertaste is digestive biscuit caramel sweetness with a scatter of oats. Balanced, aromatic, tasty ale.<br />Earlier Rating: 3/22/2007 Total Score: 3.5<br />Slightly sulphurous, musty nose with hints of juicy hop, cut grass and bunnypiss &#40;compliment&#41;. That slate-like, alkaline, chalky-maltly smoothness I associate with Sam Smith’s. Punchy hop bitterness in the finish. Creamy, drawn-out biscuity afters. Pretty decent, and a very welcome antidote to Mongozo banana ’beer’.

Black Sheep is a good brewery, and this didn’t disappoint - a clear copper pour with good white head, aroma of malt and dried fruit. Flavour has a good balance of malts and spicy hops, smooth mouthfeel, finish bittersweet and lingering. Quaffable.

flowery/hop aroma, bronze in colour with a decent head, highly hopped with a long bitter finish, medium bodied, good pale ale.
