[Bottled conditioned] This beer was rather skunky even though it was within the best before date. The color is red and it has a fine beige head, though disappearing. The aroma was sour. The flavor was of caramel and sourness before a slightly bitter end. I hope my version was bad.

<i>Bottled.</i> Nut brown, small head. Aroma of fruit and hay. Fairly dry with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Nicely hoppy. Medium bitterness.

Bottle. Nothing to much wrong with this i have to say, but it is a touch dull. Lightly sweet malty character. Quite earthy, with touches of apple, toffee, and some leafy citrusy hops. Drinkable, but not overly interesting.

Bottle. Caramel coloured it looks pretty uninspiring. Aromas are initially sour with some sweet pine hops. Flavours are caramel malt body followed by lots of juicy, fruity hops. The hops make this beer quite addictive - my bottle has been finished already.

Bottle. Brown beer with a bad farmyard manure aroma with a floral dry flavour. Overall a very poor barely drinkable beer.
