26th September 2012 at home: 500ml bottle conditioned, poured slowly into an 'Old Speckled Hen' badged vase shaped pint glass.

Very lively (the bottle claimed best before Dec 12): huge body-less glass of foam filled the vase. I allowed the foam to settle and found about a third of a pint of beer had left the bottle.

Light amber was the bodies colour the head an off-white mountainus covering.

The smells were of a fruit pie made with shortcrust paistry that had just turned (off and musty): add some yeastiness and iron ore rust, strange yet compelling aroma.

Drop the iron ore from the nose and the taste follows the aromas: off fruit pie and some yeast.

I had to have a packet of crisps to help me finish this beer: not a good sign. The second and third pours brought the sediment up with them and the body obviously became cloudy; it also made the beer more yeasty and fruitier, the fruit being semi-sour and moving towards vinegarous. I tried to enjoy this brew and have marked it asIi saw it, should have been better!
