Commercial Description:
Bottle; Unfiltered.
Also available from Wetherspoons in casks.
"This full-tasting, but deceptively drinkable, amber ale has a good fruitiness and a nice hop edge which tempers the caramellised malt. It is clean and precise, within an almost perfect balance of Challenger and Goldings hops.
The recipe has its origin in the 14th century. The present version is a little more heavy and contains more hops. The balance between the different malts, the fine hops and typical tastes of spices creates a perfect harmony between the powerful taste of brown beers and the freshness of the blond beers. This fresh aromatic and pithy light-brown drink can be served cool.

Pours a 5+ (and this is very slowly) finger off-white head that fades slowly leaving some lace. Cloudy amber color. Good carbonation and light bodied. Sweet caramel nose. Flavor is light caramel and raisins. Higher ABV is hidden. $4.25 for a 330ml bottle from Gillingham’s Woodstock, VT.

75cl bottle from Downtown Produce (Melbourne, FL). Pours a rich, deep caramel brown with a foamy off-white tan head that settles quickly but still provides lacing on the glass. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of nuts, spice, and ripe fruit. Flavor is also sweet and malty with notes of molasses, spice, caramel, spice, and just a hint of coffee close to finish. Generally medium bodied with a slightly sweet lingering finish.

750 ml. Translucent, deep copper with ruby tints. Creamy quarter inch head endures and leaves frosting all over the glass. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, light apple cider and alcohol. Flavors of toffee, apple and earthy spices are balanced by alcohol and some woody hops. Medium body finishes with a nice touch of dryness and warming alcohol, but is a tad too bubbly for my taste.
