Bottle. Pours a hazy amber colour with no head but a slight fizz. The aroma is rather dusty and malty. The flavours remind me of certain homebrew at times, that is to say it’s quite musky but with a lemony citric quality to counterbalance this. Thin and smooth on the palate once the fizz dies down. The finish is pleasant but a bit too short. I don’t taste anything groundbreaking but I don’t mind this brew.

Apr 20, 2007 Bought in Waitrose, Cambridge. Brown amber with a small off white head. A lot of sediment in this one. Malty aroma and though there’s a slightly metallic taste, the overall impression is malty. Some bitterness. Reasonable, but not exciting.

Jun 29, 2006 From bottle. I open the bottle, it initially smells of sweaty feet and hops but soon settles down to a home brew kind of aroma. The beer has a deep amber appearance with slight head. The flavour is smooth but slightly watery maybe, I get a musky, smokey aftertaste. not a bad ale at all, I quite liked it but wont be having it again.

Mar 13, 2006 A dark amber, orange beer with a thickish white head. A light hoppy aroma with hints of apple and citrus fruit, there is also an underlying smell of sweet malt. The taste is dry and hoppy, with a fruity tang of apples and lemons, the maltiness from the nose is apparent again in the flavour towards the end. The aftertaste is light and hoppy. (Bottle - “The Real Ale Shop”, Branthill Farm, nr. Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk).
