500 ml bottle, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. Clear copper to amber colour, moderate head, slightly off-white. Aroma of malts, brown bread, syrup and honey, also earthy English hops. The flavour is slightly more sweet than dry, with discrete notes of syrup and honey, also bready malts and earthy hops, some berry hints too. Good body for its ABV. Well balanced and enjoyable.

36th CAMRA Cotswold beer festival (July 2012) in the lovely 15th century Tithe Barn was the setting for my tasting of this beer. Half Bore is the same recipe as Full Bore but at half strength. Strange how my reviews differ for the two brews so much.
Gravity poured half-pint: amber body with a thin covering of white bubbles on top.
Produced with Devon Honey: I couldn’t detect any honey presence in either the aroma or taste but it did have an interesting feel to it. The nose was a mixed bag of smells: mild malty molasses and fruity esters blending together nicely.
The taste was again malty, but the hop element came into its own a bit more and the beer had an underlying bitterness that was refreshing and crisp. As the mouth dried the hop dry bitterness became even more prominent. Should have had a pint (but so many beers to try).
