Poperinge (353), Cowtown, Alberta, Canada Jan 7, 2007 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. kook (2035), Perth, Western Australia, Australia Feb 20, 2005 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. RichardGretton (2699), Leicestershire, England Jan 30, 2005 Darkish brown beer with a lightly hopped aroma and a lightly malted but more hopped flavour. Overall a very reasonable beer. Ungstrup (11568), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jul 14, 2003 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. imdownthepub (4224), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Jun 11, 2003 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.
