Some malt aroma. Amber coloured smooth on the palate and malty with a crisp and slightly nutty dry finish. maeib (4777), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England

An amber coloured beer with a little white head but good lacing. The aroma is strong on the fruit whereas the taste has more going on: fruits, malts, a hint of coffee and a hint of chocolate. Maybe served too warm but shows signs of good flavours.

With all the great beers around, this struggled a little to make an impact, there is a bready malty body with a gentle hop overlaid, but all very understated and quite thin. Still very drinkable, but not dramatic. Fin (3495), Merton, Oxfordshire, England
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 7, 2009 Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival 6th and 7th Feb 2009 Pours a dark brown with a red tinge and large off white big bubbly head. Plenty of earthy hops present themselves initially and there are sponge and biscuity flavours coming to the fore. There is a light citrussy note and its a likeable if not exactly stunning beer.
