Awfully disappointing brew from my local beer shed. I’m still to find a Downton Ale I like and this one was super poor. So flat, one dimensional flavour, too strong. Oh and none of those promised aromas of passion fruit, mango and lychee. I will not be revisiting this one 🤮…….update I didn’t finish this one, it visited the sink.

It's still a decent drink. It has the same details as before but seems to have a slight tartness to the finish this time. It might be coming to the end of the barrel; otherwise, it's still very drinkable. A good quaffable drink.

My team just lost 7-1 so have attacked my garage to find beer. Loads of Stella & fruity ciders and then I found this. Was a gift from a customer. Not my usual choice, a session beer at 3.8% but will drink this before Stella any day. Nice bronze coloured ale, not the tastiest but won’t last long, very quaffable.

A customer gave me this bottle as a tip last week, I put it in the fridge (it’s 28’ out there!), and was pleased to find it when I got home tonight. Tasting notes suggest berries & caramel but I can’t find those, for me very much like malted milk biscuits (or moo cow biscuits as my kids call them). Not from a huge brewery I have to say I would happily purchase this myself. Decent 5.5# Ruby Bitter.

Decent drink. Nice floral hoppy aroma. Creamy mouthfeel. Subtle apple taste but not as strong as I was expecting. More floral hoppy notes leading to a subtle sweet finish. Crisp and refreshing session ale that is very quaffable.

Slightly hoppy otherwise not a lot else going on. Disappointing.

Full bodied, malty and easy drinking. Decent enough beer.
