500ml Bottle conditioned: obtained from Norman himself when visiting his brewpub. Poured at home into an Abbot Ale glass tankard on 19 Jun 2013.

No sediment appeared to leave the bottle: slight haze to my old gold/amber coloured beer, on top a full and lasting head of off-white bubbles.

Norman, you've sold me a pup!

On the turn, this isn't right. Smells OK, malts and fruitiness fill the nose nicely.

The taste however is 'on the turn', not undrinkable, but not far off: this is going to go through me like a dose of 'you know what' but I'll not throw it away, I'm too mean. A Red Leicester Cheese and Branston Pickle roll helped me make it through the brew: well half of it anyway, I did have to drain pour some.

I shouldn't really post this: but this is the third beer I've had to pour away from this brewpub and I didn't write about the other two out of politeness to Norman who I know fairly well. Sorry Norman, but you must not sell beers that are off!
