(Colour and head: reddish / Cherry, nutty, bitter, malty, very tasty. This is one of my favourite beers.
Update April 2011: I have to say that the last few bottles I've bought haven't been as good as they were. Is it me or is it Adnams but somehow I feel that this beer has turned to being too watery and milder.)

Upon a simmer Sunday morn, When Nature's face is fair,
I walked forth to view the corn, And snuff the caller air.
The risin' sun owre Galston muirs Wi' glorious light was glintin;
The hares were hirplin down the furrs, The lav'rocks they were chantin'
Fu' sweet that day.
(Robert Burns)
