Bottle conditioned 500ml ale, tasted just before its best before date during one of my 'random beer reviewing evenings'.

The beer gushed out of the bottle on opening, so the sediment filled the glass somewhat. The colour was therefore a dirty amber mess, the white head produced some good lacing as the beer fell away in the glass.

The aroma was of sweet molasses, with a heavy yeast presence added.

The beer had a semi-sweet malt initial taste turning a more hoppy bitter finish.

Interesting and enjoyable, pity the beer flew out the bottle on opening.

One of my favourite beers of the Cambridge Beer Festival this year. Tough call on the style. Brewer describes it as an "amber ale" but is distinctly English, not American... biscuit reminds enough of Fat Tire for me to classify it as an American Amber.

Appearance: orange honey color, thin head.

Smell: biscuit and grain, reminds me of Fat Tire

Taste: fruit, biscuit, solid bitterness but lacking discernible hop flavor.

Mouthfeel: light-medium body, carbonation fine considering it's coming from a cask.

Drinkability: high, this one is quaffable!
