Jul 28, 2002 Cask: Warming, malty, fruity ale. Moderate alcohol strength evident. Nice tropical fruitiness and slight bite in the aftertaste. Sent me back to the days of a group of students running around pretending to be spitfires after a session on this (I didn’t always take my beer seriously).

Jan 27, 2003 Tried it on cask. Nice bitter palate, not too tart though. Creamy head. A good brew

does not count  May 8, 2003 I had this while in Cambridge and was very impressed. A good example of an English Ale.

I was very familiar with this beer before this particular rating, and was gobsmacked by how fantastic this particular pint was. Light fruity aroma, woody - oaky, also sweet maltiness noticable. Flavour to match, with plenty of well-balanced bitterness. Welcoming creaminess in the mouth too. Almost unbeatable - bitter at its best.

Feb 13, 2006 Usually drink this in the Duke of Wellington near Belgravia or the Prince of Wales in Victoria. Nice, nice beer on tap, very smooth and drinkable. Top o’ the Sheperd’s Neame line methinks.
