500 mL bottle from Tesco into a pint glass. Short lived foamy head over a red brown beer. Pleasant goldings aroma. Smooth bitter, hoppy with a slightly nutty sweet aftertaste. Nice but not particularly unique.

I really enjoy these gentle, fruity English beers. It’s a fairly mild beer with nutty, toasty, and somewhat caramely malt flavors, mild to medium sweetness, toffee, and a general fruity character that’s typical of English ales. The nose also offers aromas that are fruity, nutty, toasty, and caramely. Medium in weight with light-medium carbonation and a slight amount of dryness in the finish to balance the gentle, malty sweetness. In the glass, the beer is deep copper in color, slightly hazy, and capped by half an inch of off-white head that settles to a thin ring and a sparse dusting. Overall, a really nice session beer with a very agreeable flavor.

First tasted this in the Ale House, Paisley in March 1993. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear russet amber in colour with a thin white head. Malty aroma with raisins evident. Thin but creamy mouthfeel and good lacing. Mixed malts give a slight roast malt note with digestive biscuit base. Thin caramel and figs noted in the palate. Dusty hops resins give a rather spicy bite to the short aftertaste. Finish is on the malty side with treacle toffee notes. A decent session bitter.

[cask at Melton’s Too, York] Brown pour with a thin white head. Biscuity malt aroma. Flavour is predominantly the same, powdery mouthfeel. Finishes somewhat dry but also quite quickly. Having said that, it’s perfectly drinkable [30102011]
