Clear copper color with an orangey-beige foamy head of meringue that fills a good inch of the glass and sits back down quickly to a thin cap with lace rising up the sides. Faint aroma of biscuity malt and sweet fruit. Flavor is even and balanced, doughey malts, a hint of cinnamon and some ripe apple. Grassy hops ride beneath, adding a fine tingle that complements the flavor. Mouthfeel is full and satisfying, moderate to heavy carbonation adding a bubbly flourish in the finish. Good session beer, pretty balanced and inoffensive without being over the top in any aspect.

Bottle at The Three Judges, Glasgow. ABV is 3.4%. Amber colour, decent head. Moderate aroma of cellar, dust and caramel. Thin mouthfeel. The flavour has toffee and biscuits, with barely acceptable hops in the finish.

Yeah, it's just OK out of the bottle cold. Cellar temp knocks it up a point in flavor and aroma. On tap, it is another ball game. This has been far and away the most popular draft beer I have sold in my 40 year restaurant career so far . It just fit the old colonial early american atmosphere of my tavern so well, it was a natural.
