Bought this at Lee’s in Henderson NV and I have no idea how old the bottle was. Thin and watery and nothing special. I am sure MJ writes about a on tap or cask verison of this beer on page 74 of his Great Beer Guide and only 456 Classic Brews to go out of 500.

Poured amber with a short lasting beige head. Mild malt aroma. Toffee notes at the start with a harsh bitter finish. Quite unbalanced and a little thin. Not great.

Darkish brown beer with a lightly hopped aroma and a lightly malted but more hopped flavour. Overall a very reasonable beer.

The aroma is very lightly fruity. The color is an unclear amber and it has a flat head. The flavor is a lovely slightly sweet fruity flavor from a really good malt blend. It also has a really good aroma hops - but it is most significant in the flavor. It ends on a lovely bitterness. All in all a fantastic flavor - but the palate is a little light.

This was my last bottle from the Henley Brewery. No more will we be able to drink Brakspears as it should be. Bye Bye o fair brewery, may those that sold you down the river burn in hell.
