Aroma is slightly sweet and reminiscent of home brew slightly but pleasent. The taste inicially sweet with a pleasent bitter aftertaste. I could not say this is the best I have ever drunk, or even that I would seek it intentionally, but if it was freely available where I live, Id drink it again.

500ml bottle from Arden Wines. Pale copper with dense white head lacing thickly. Dominant yeasty and English hop aroma with hints of rhubarb, apple and Fruit Salad chews. Fruity, yeasty flavour with some very palatable Fruit Salad, soapy hop and creamy nut aspects. Dry finish sweetened by malt. Decent.

Bottle from Rehills in Newcastle. A brown beer with a rich sweet malty flavour, vanilla and floral fruity notes and a slight smoky finish.

Bottle. Amber red with a thin foam. Aromas are toffee and berries with earthy notes and bubblegum. Spicy and floral with vinous aspects. Lemon with a light nuttiness. Flavours are juicy, fruity malts with toffee. Lemon and sharp blackberry. Floral, dry and spicy on the finish. A little too carbonated. Decent.
