COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Occasional. Also available bottled.
A pale English ale with a malty flavour finely balanced with fine English hops to give a hint of citrus and a surprisingly smooth finish for such a beer.

Fruity, alcoholic. Not really anything special. A ton of sediment on the bottom, not always what you see in this style.

Trappist (284) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - APR 21, 2012
Very yeasty and thin white lace on the sides of the glass when poured. Slightly chewy and not one of the best English Ales that I have tried, Notes of resin, coffee and almost a shoe polish type after note.

yngwie (10754) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - APR 15, 2011
Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. It pours a clear, amber body and a small, off-white head. Boozy nose with canned peaches and some grassy notes. The flavor is way too alcoholic, borderline paint remover. Quite fruity, with canned peaches dominating. Full-bodied and warming. Warming finish with sugary sweetness. Not awful, but not far from awful, way too alcoholic. 110415
