Fairly clear, deep-amber body capped by a dense & creamy, very light-tan head that holds well and leaves some thin lace. The aroma is gently malty, softly fruity and lightly hoppy without being real specific about anything. The body is light with a gentle carbonation that leaves it quite smooth and lightly creamy in the mouth. The flavor, like the aroma, offers broad strokes rather than detail with a somewhat rich malt that's only lightly caramel in character, a supple fruitiness, some woody notes and a leafy hop flavor that's backed by solidly supportive bitterness. Finishes with a short lingering composite of the above characteristics. Nicely balanced! The great thing about this beer is that it pack so much into so little - light but compelling. Highly drinkable! Best served at cellar temperature (or just below) to reveal its complete character. An excellent English session beer althought the alcohol is just slightly high at 5.0%. Recommended.

275 ml bottle, unfortunately served far too cold at The Marquess of Anglesey, London. Amber colour, moderate head. Sweet alcoholic (despite ABV only 5%) candylike aroma. Flavour is a bit sweet with hints of nuts and cherries. Not my favourite this one.

The only problem with this beer is getting hold of it.
The only place I could see to buy it was direct from Marston's.
A lovely beer especially mixed with Young's London Special.

Another copper pour, white head 3/4" deep. Cool ruby edge to it. Nose was mildly fruity, earthy malt and hops.
A light sweetness, a good amount of noble hop flavor contributions. Highly carbonated, appropriate. Caramel and wood malt flavors, tea.
Neither super strong nor bitter, this one doesn't need to be compared to its claims on the label, its decent, but the format and price per oz keep it from being a repeat purchase.
