Feb 26, 2007 Bottle. Quite an ugly beer: muddy brown with an indifferent rather scummy head. I see they describe the colour as ’bronze’. I stand corrected. Malt aroma. Rather oily, sour taste with a medium bitter finish. Didn’t impress, which is a pity as I liked their IPA.

does not count  Feb 9, 2007 Not a great deal of fruitiness but does have a bitter finish. Doesn’t keep its head very well.
