Pours a golden reddish color. Small head dissipated quickly. Aroma is very faint, fruity and a bit tart. Flavor is again very fruity and tart, with some sweet honey notes in the finish. Medium bodied and fruity from start to end. This is a nice tradition ale and very fruity for the style, so good for summer

Dec 30, 2008 Bottle from Waitrose. No major complaints here, despite being pasteurised. Bright copper/amber colour with a thin white head. Surprisingly hoppy aroma - slightly resinous and flowery - with caramel and plummy fruit. Flavour falls away a bit, concetrating on fruity malt, decoming dry and reasonably bitter on the finish. Solid but unexciting. The cask is better.

Dec 26, 2008 Pours a nice shade of amber with a modest head... Sweet malty aroma, subtle fruitiness... Slightly fruity taste with sweet malts... Decent offering, a bit overpriced in the US....
