COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Special - October 2011.
The aroma is intense with malt and copious resinous hops. The flavour is amazingly rich, which is balanced by truckloads of leafy hops, spice and citrus.

tania_nexust (15) - West Midlands, - NOV 9, 2011

Cask conditioned at The Victoria, Birmingham, on 08/11/11. Rich brown ale with slightly hoppy, resinous aroma. Good malt weight flavour-wise with well balanced hops complementing but not overpowering. Spice and liquorice notes very pleasant on the aftertaste.

maeib (7635) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - NOV 6, 2011

Cask conditioned Handpump Far From The Madding Crowd Oxford. A chestnut coloured beer with an off-white head and lace. Superb citrus hops throughout with bready malts in the style of a US amber. Excellent mélange of hops, malt and fruit. Very well brewed and tasty.

Benzai (4444) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - NOV 1, 2011

Cask @ The Market porter, London. Clear light orange, small white lacing. Smell and taste malts, grains, also a bit cellar and musty: don’t like it. Low carbo, low body, very dead. Not good imo.

imdownthepub (8547) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - OCT 29, 2011

Cask conditioned at Far From the Madding Crowd, Oxford. Amber with no head. Not sure why I didn’t get on too well with this, but I found it over resinous a quite flat. The hops are there, but not really to my taste.
