AlenomoreExceptional26 Oct 2012 This was put on by our host quite late. Another superb, amazingly good, well hopped type. A genuine 5* ale. I first sampled this at the Bhurtpore Inn, Wrenbury, in 2005.

Stephen HarrisExcellent31 Jan 2012 Described on the pub blackboard as a Red Ale, but drinks more like a dark, fruity bitter. Very deep red in colour, rich and fruity, with a dry finish.

IanGood09 Feb 2006 I think this was my highest rated UK beer of the festival and it wasn’t even on the list!!! Chestnut colour with thin beige head. Lovely aroma, nutty/dates/fruit and deep malt. Good malts in mouth. Drying finish. In fact my notes say, Best UK beer so far. Soft in mouth with a salty bitterness.
