A Mes rate: Cask from that pub we stopped at in Cambridge. Sweet malty nose. Sweet and brief malty flavour with a hint of tobacco. Malt is even more apparent in the finish which is also slightly peppery.

johndoughty (2946) - cheslyn hay, West Midlands, ENGLAND - JAN 10, 2008
Bottle. Orange and very clear. Minute head upon pouring. Fruity bitterness with a medium body.Some trace of citrus. Quite nice and certainly better bottled than some of their other beers I have tried.

jerohen (1793) - Bussum, NETHERLANDS - OCT 13, 2007
Bottled. Hazy golden coloured, small white head. Somewhat hoppy nose with some malts, oranges and wet paper. Bitter and dry flavour, not very outspoken. Nothing special. Thanks to my girlfriend for bringing this from Cambridge.

Bottl conditioned from ronnie. Aroma is minimal but whats there is cardboard and oranges. Taste is similar with hints of spice, lacking in condition slightly but still a nice ale.

omhper (15956) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - APR 7, 2005
Bottled. Pale amber, small head. Lightly fruity. Sweetish with clean, rounded mouthfeel and grassy, salty finish. Not an attention grabber.

leaparsons (6324) - Leicester, Leicestershire, ENGLAND - OCT 8, 2004
Golden brown. Aromas are sweet hops, yeast and some spice. Flavours are sweet malts with some nice hops followed by some soapiness. Soft and delicate with quite a dry finish. Its OK.

Spiesy (2336) - Sydney, Greater London, AUSTRALIA - JUL 5, 2003
Cask Conditioned, at the Wenlock Arms, London.
Nutty amber colour with a slight lacy head. Musky, yeasty flavour. A little bit too much like home brew this.
