COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Available filtered and pasteurised in keg, can & bottle.
Production moved to Bedford in late 2011 following the acquisition of the McEwan’s and Younger’s brands by Wells & Youngs from Heineken.
Amber colour with a notably thick head. A sweet, spicy aroma with a hoppy finish.

The import to Norway was not a success. The bottled version turned out to be sour and rather unpleasant.

Chestnut colour with big cream head. Mild strange chemical aroma. Light roasted malt tastewhich is pretty bad. Flat and watery. Perhaps this is Scottish sewer water.

The Eagle, Inverness. I didn't have a good experience with this one. Tasted like metal shavings in the bottle. That could have been the problem. Or the pounding music. Or the pounding head...

ClubGonzo (1987) - Bergen, NORWAY - NOV 6, 2011
Can, from Centra Colosseum, Oslo. Dark amber body, medium off-white creamy head. Nose is sour hibiscus-like notes, pale malts and hints of caramel and ale yeast. A bit strange. Taste takes it all down: INTENSE canned food metallic tones; as if drinking straight from an opened can of vegetables or something. Gross! :-( Hints of caramel and yeast in the back, which does nothing to reduce the canned metallic horror of this beer. Maybe I got a bad batch or something, but this was really horrible.

Talk about bad beers. Smell is of can, taste is of rotten meat and the overall worth of this beer is slightly higher than the aluminium it sits in. Maybe not.

SilkTork (4738) - Rochester, Kent, United Kingdom, WALES - MAR 2, 2005
Can. Huge foam head which, fair does, has a yeasty aroma mingled with the tin. Initially quite metallic with unpleasant cardboard hops, then some boiled fruit notes come through. Caramel, tin, cardboard, gas, cheap boiled sweets - gee, this is an absolute wank of a beer. The treatment this beer has been given has ruined any possibility of it tasting any good. Fucking awful!
