1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottled, Pasteurised. Light brown with small head. Thin metallic malt beer with little character. Shame as I bought 4 bottles because it was cheap, now I know why.

Bottle. Golden brown with an off-white foam. Aromas are stale malts, grain and soda water with some lemon. Flavours are gritty grain with light sweet citrus. Some biscuit with a dry finish.

My great-grandfather was a proud Fenman, hailing from the town of March in Cambridgeshire. Brown with a small white head. Taste is malty and grainy, almost like a mild. There’s some bitterness. The beer struggles to deliver its flavour and only just succeeds.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
A light, amber, brown beer with a light, white head. A subtle wheaty nose, with hops and some fruit. The taste is light, with hops and wheat being the main elements, there is a slight maltiness in the finish. The aftertaste is quite long, and slightly dry. (Bottle - Purchased from Dent’s Farm Shop, Hilgay, Norfolk).

Bottle@Spiesys. Pretty crappy stuff. Stale cardboardy flavour, grainy and sticky, very boring. No fun.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottled. Cherry-wood body with a fine white head. Not enough malts or hops to really enjoy it. Falls short all round. [London gathering: Spiesy, Duff, chris_o, Marty-D and SilkTork]

Bottle @ Spiesy’s gaff. BBE 03/04. Hoppy bitter. Hops are stale. Beer is dull. Dreadful.
1.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Don't know if this was a skunky bottle or if it's just bad beer....Not bad looking but skunky metallic aroma with some light caramel thrown in. Thin mouthfeel of mild malts and maybe the caramel again....lingers when you don't want it to. Nice of radiomgb to share this one he got from a friend in England but it disappointed us both.

Clear copper in colour. Aroma was slightly metallic, some skunkiness, mild fruitness and caramel. Flavour was of very mild caramel, a touch of malt, very thin body and a coating mouthfeel. Finishes with a medium metallic bitterness.
