Apr 29, 2002 Tasted right after an APA, so that may be why it kinda disapeared in my mouth. Pretty good, it seemed, but I need to re-rate when I get a chance.

Jan 2, 2003 Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Great beer. Very hoppy and bitter, in the english style, and particularly for an english beer. Deep hazelnut color, with a slightly off white head. Pours well, with a thick tight head. Aroma is almost entirely hops. I’m not too familiar with british varieties, but my guess is goldings or target? It doesn’t smell like Fuggles. A bit of underlying malt. Flavor bursts with the same hops, the malts riding under to provide balance. Enough malt to carry the bitterness, but still let it take center stage. Wonderful stuff.

Jul 21, 2003 Clear medium amber with a small uneven off-white head. Aroma of cut hay, apricots, slight moldy hops. Nice bitter taste. A great tasting beer that at 3.4% I could drink all night. Slightly dry finish.

Nov 23, 2002 Just what you’d expect from a bitter: not too out there, nice flavor, but nothing terribly special, either.

Aug 26, 2008 500ml bottle
3.4% ABV
I tried this beer on July 26, 2008 after pirchgasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a beautiful translucent red with a 1" off-white head that lingered a while. The aroma was sweet malt, and a definite hoppy sense. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, amply carbonated, and slightly bitter. The flavour was sweet malt, hops, and spicy. Easily drinkable.

My first sample of this here brew since the move (back) to Witney. Used to be one of my fav bitters. Still very qood, but not exactly on the spot. The butterscotch is there, alright, but too much. The hoppy flavour isn’t exactly the same. But they are close.
