Alround rating: Big leafy hop character, darker malts stay hidden but balance it nicely caramel coming through, the sugar doesnt bother you at all. Its nice and fresh and i ended up sessioning it all night. bobinlondon (839), Harrow, Greater London, England

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 12, 2009 JDW Rochester. Mmmm. A typically solid beer from Ringwood. Good malt, good hops - well integrated and well balanced. Nothing remarkable, but very drinkable, and the sort of beer I could happily drink all day. Cold steel tang with a rosewood tang. Yummy. imdownthepub (5139), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
