IanExcellent07 Apr 2010 Clear deep amber colour, lasting beige head. Bready yeasty aroma, typical of Shepherd Neame yeast. Brewed with the cheesy Sheps yeast, some bitterness on finish but this is all about the yeast. Decent very decent best bitter. Can't fault it for lack of character.

The Humphrey Bean, Tonbridge, Kent

Martin the MildmanAcceptable14 Apr 2010 Not overly impressed with this, amber in colour with a lot of bitterness, some from amber/crystal malt and a dryish, sharp finish. My score 13/20.
