500 ml bottle with a BB date of June 2015.
Red-copper body has excellent clarity and a fine bone-colored head.
Aroma: mix of earthy English hops and mixed caramel and medium-roast malts.
Flavor: mild bitterness picks up and lingers on in the aftertaste.

Clear 500ml bottle: BBD 22 Mar 2014. Poured into an 'Old Speckled Hen' badged vase shaped pint glass on 4 Oct 2013.

Nice looking brew, clean and clear chestnut red/brown with a creamy head that gave some heavy lacing.

More malty than hoppy, this has a toffee apple aroma and taste which I liked.

Medium bodied and flavoursome, if you are into malty brews. The hops don't really get a look in apart from being there to prevent the beer becoming too sweet.

I've just finished a 5 hour shift at a Cask beer festival (but drove home, so no tasters) and this is just what I needed, a hoppier beer comes next!

It pours a nice enough looking beer
with clear chestnut brown body and fairly respectable head of 2mm head
with about 80% of which too dense to see through

There is a sourness in the smell like metal rubbed with vinegar and a certain amount of wheat notes

It actually has a bit of taste going on
quite a sweet start with a bit of a copper taste that slowly turns bitter
leaving a boozy flavour at the back off the mouth

Just too flimsy a mouthfeel though it has the carbonation pretty much right

Overall an okay if pretty dull brown beer
it's claims of being rich & subtly complex are like Simon Cowell issuing
that statement, completely false, in the latter part at least.
