As such it's going to be an English hop based product - which as we've seen can go one of two ways. In this case, it's a sloppy pour out of the bottle with a loose head that's gone within moments. Aroma is, well, British.. but not a great deal of character coming through even then. Pretty nondescript to be honest, a bit disappointing.
The palate brings bitterness above and beyond any real sense of 'hops', which I suppose makes sense if they're following the auld recipes. It does somewhat limit the flavour progression of the beer however with a pretty flat character throughout. Bit metallic, only one real punch of malty fruits about half way through the mouthful.
In short then an OK sort of a beer, but I'm unsure it commemorates anything more than misplaced nostalgia. Nice bottle though. 5.0
