Quite malty and pale with a surprising fruity bitterness but mostly on the tongue rather than the throat. An honour to drink one of the last

Almost no head. Cloudy like a tasty homebrew. Not much hop nose but plenty of malt and warming alcohol. Pretty good stuff for a cold evenin

Malted barley gave this a strange taste. A bit different, sort of like hopped wort.

It's a mega hopped up Pale Ale, murky, dense, snowballs, bitter g/fruit finish - fantastic. Great tribute beer !

Good but not great. Resurrection series always worth a shot but this was a touch too bitter for me.

James Morrison: I think this would age well. Might buy another one and keep it
Andrew Ainsworth: Aye might be a shout. For being pale it's quite complex

Made from a recipe from 1835. We've moved on. This beer hasn't. Mingin.
