4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: DEC 10, 2007 Blackpool - Hollies Hotel - bottle. Tasted as ’Carn Brea’ Brewerys ’Wobbly Parrot. Carn Brea brewery shut down years ago, however this bottle of ’One and All’ e had been relabelled using one of ’Carn Brea’s’ ’ Wobbly Parrot’ labels on top of the ’Ring o Bells - One and All’ one - strange. However it was superb. Very easily drunk. Sweet start and bitter at end of mouth. Would certainly have again.

Very enjoying bitterish ale. Small head, attractive brown-orange colour. Malty with hints of yeasty fruityness. A bit watterish but very drinkable and refreshing. Alchocol only discernible in smell. Bitter finish.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottled, Lizard point general store, The Lizard, Cornwall.
Into a pint; polished, ruddy bronze body with a wafer thin pad of beige froth that actually managed to survive the length. Interesting seaside aroma of salt, fresh mowed grass, moist moss rocks, lemon rind and dried flowers. Toasted, sweet malts start it off in the mouth and remain in dominance. Light tang of ginger with some salt and fresh kelp, a little smoke and some perfumy hops add to the, again, interesting qualities of this beer. Finish is bitter with all of the flavours combining into a sticky, heavy swallow that had considerable length. Body is quite full (tasted at room temperature) and the carbonation quite soft. Wouldn’t suit a session at all, but it is damn tasty. Tasted it just before World Cup started so at this point I was sick and tired of St. George so the label with the reclined pig enjoying a pint with a Cornish jack on his shirt was a very welcome change. A very distinct ale. Nice. (50cL, 29/03/07)

A hazy dark orange beer with a nice orange head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel, bread, and raisinbuns. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and bread, while the mouthfeel is soft. Thank Jez.
