Now I'm really confused!
The is the Newcastle brewery .... brown ale ... and all that as far as I can tell however that Newcastle brown ale is now brewed on the Continent and this is brewed in North Yorkshire... ah, who cares.

As it goes, this bottle looks a bit dull. It's a limited edition and it's a pale ale.
On poring it doesn't look to pale to me!

The smell as you would imagine from the name have hops there but it's faint. I sort of expected to be bowled over by a rich and Strong aroma but never mind.

It tastes quite strong and a bit bitter with a slightly zeshy aftertaste but nothing too overpowering. It actually tastes darker than it looks if that makes any sense.
I could probably drink this all night and not notice it somehow turning my legs to something approximating jellied stilts.

I'd buy this again if I can find it :)
