3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask-conditioned version at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 13/01/10. Brillaint copper in colour, with a decent off-white head. Sweet, caramel aroma with a touch of fruit and some earthy hops. Flavour was similar, with sweetish, doughy malts, red fruits and a decent bitter finish. Easy drinking for the strength and made me think of Palmers beers.

Bottle conditioned, 500ml from happy Apple, Totnes, Devon. Brown amber with white head. Malty and fruity certainly, quite a caramel note but drying and heavily carbonated, tinny. Just a little dull in the end.

bottle, bought at the brewery. Hazy golden yellow colour. Full-bodied, malty with hints of caramel and a lovely fruity ness, mainly orange zest and bitter orange. Smooth carbonation. Brilliant!

500ml bottle from a Torquay supermarket. A clean and juicy unfiltered beer in lovely condition. Pleasant sweetness, edging toward toffee and orange zest with a soft bitterness. Some scratchy carbonation in the swallow. A decent, drinkable ale.
