May 24, 2008 A classic among classics. This is the stuff of which (English) legends are made. Unassuming, the opposite of brash, reliable, trustworthy, good for the long haul, friendly, cheerful, and agreeable with an array of foods.
Essentially, this beer is akin to how the English would like to think of themselves as a people.
It definitely has that peculiar Yorkshire-water minerality -- which, as Garrett Oliver (and others) will tell you, is highly prized by the local beer aficionados. After all, Tadcaster sits atop a limestone-rich water table. It’s a bit weird, but I can see why. It lends a certain mineral-water refreshingness to the brew, to be sure.
A lovely copper-brown color with the trademark elusively thin English head. The nose is slight, but the careful taster will be patient with it and be rewarded with rich caramel, roasted malt, hay, and subdued yet holding-their-own hops. On the tongue, the mineral quality shows up, along with a nice ale-style fruitiness (not too strong) and pleasant malt roundness. The palate is dry, crisp, and the paragon of refreshing. One could, even at 5% ABV, drink it all night.

May 20, 2008 Dark red/brown body with a small fast falling cream head. Toasty nose, caramel and lots of nutty malt quality. Big toasted malt start, nutty, big melted caramel character, a bit woody in the finish.

May 18, 2008 Pretty good, but not the best brown ale that I have had. Has a slightly nutty and chocolate taste, neither taste is overpowering. Not a whole lot of aroma and very little head. An above average brown ale. There are better.
