Production moved to Thomas Hardy Burtonwood in Summer 2007 but subsequently back to Tadcaster. There is some uncertainty as to the current (late 2011) brewing location.

Joeh (2036) - Buckinghamshire, ENGLAND - SEP 7, 2002
Cask-conditioned. Mid-brown appearance, bubbly head. A load of malt and some hoppy bitterness. Surprisingly good.

Drank a lot of this while in England with the USAF, excellent drinking beer, low on the alcohol, looks great in a crystal mug by the fire in any pub in East Anglia.

Nekronos (2627) - Xalapa, MEXICO - FEB 6, 2005
UPDATED: FEB 1, 2006 It is ok, but I think many confused this with the special smooth, which is in a red can.

Cask at the oak, brighton. Dark amber ale, bitter with a full taste. Not bad at all. Caramel, roasted malts. NIce finish.
