Tasting Summary

These comments are the opinion of the individual reviewer and represent what they thought of the beer on a particular day in a particular pub. If a review is less favourable, it may be because the beer suffered somewhere in the supply chain between them and the brewery.

Magnus Greel		11 Nov 2024	A completely different experience to my previous pint of this at The Bear, Faversham. Sweeter, less resinous and sulphurous instead had spicy cloves and blackcurrant notes.

Hogan Sampling		02 Nov 2024	Had also tried in Faversham, the Shepherd Neame Brewery's home. Superb head and lacing. A spicy hit on first tasting with a slight touch of berry fruits. Very moreish with a lingeringly dry and slightly fruity mouthfeel.

Hogan Sampling		14 Sep 2024	In very fine condition with frothy head and lacing. Has not come far, as in the Shepherd Neame Brewery just around the corner, and so that should be no surprise. A very fruity and malty mouthfeel with a hoppy aftertaste.

Trevor		05 Dec 2011
Andrew		08 Jan 2011	It wasn't off so this rating of poor isn't necessarily anything to do with the pub's keeping of the beer (although the beer was a bit lack lustre). There was a horrible toasted peanut smell to the beer and a harsh reedy toasted-peanut bite to the flavour. The Master Brew had this too so I don't know if the malt Shep's were using was a bit funny or something.
Ian		24 Dec 2009	Best Sheps beer by some way.
Andrew		24 Dec 2009	This was really very good.
Ian		23 Nov 2008	The last two years, I have not been particularly impressed with this which is a shame as the Shep seasonals are always pretty reliable. This year though it was back to top form. That kind of Turkish Delight fruit flavour, the condition, the depth of flavours, the slight hoppiness on the end. All excellent. I can't remember the last time I so actively enjoyed a Sheps beer.
Ian		20 Nov 2005	As close as a beer can be to a 5/5 but not quite achieving it. Admittedly this is my favourite Sheps beer, but this was particulary good. Mixture of turkish delight fruit and choc malts with good hoppy bitterness. Deep chestnut colour with thin beige head. Body is quite soft before more rich dark fruits kick in with choc/coffee and some yeast. The hops are fresh and stunning

Andrew		28 Sep 2009	Reddish. Very tangy and fruity with a leafy hop bite at the end - but importantly not as overpowering as last year.
Andrew		24 Nov 2008	This wasn't how I remembered it. It was a deep red colour and the aroma was of red fruit as before but the finish was quite astringent with a coffee-grounds bitterness to it. The red cherry flavours in the body were there but you had to fight the astringent coffee-grounds bitterness to appreciate them. It was good but maybe if it mellowed a bit it would be better. It was also £3.05 a pint!
Andrew		05 Oct 2007	What a cracking pint. Tangy and sweet with good earthy hops.
Andrew		28 Oct 2006	The first 3 or 4 gups of this were excellent but as the pint sank it became a bit lifeless and sickly. Plenty of caramalised malt with, I guess, fuggles as the hop. Well ballanced and good
Ian		28 Oct 2006	First of the season for me of this beer. Attractive brown colour with amber edges and lasting beige head. Served at a good temperature. Malty fruit aroma, bit of dry choc, plums. Fullish in mouth, bit of juicyness. Quite drinkable. I remember it being fruitier and not quite so dry. Especially on end.

Ian		06 Oct 2007	I had two pints of this just to make sure. Some sweet malt on aroma. But none of the pleasant deep fruity malts that I associate with this beer.

Ian		18 Mar 2010	Reminds me of the amber beer to an extent. Still lovely hop but reminds me of something Danish, I think, but can't remember. Something like Mikkeller but don't know which. Good though and had 2 very enjoyable pints this evening. Decent price in centre of town too.
Ian		24 Oct 2009	Some turkish delight fruit but just a little thin in the mouth.
