[1] Review by Neilo from Ramsey, United Kingdom who has tried this beer a couple times. (7/15/2007 5:37:02 AM)
"A beer brewed to mimic the original victorian ales which were brewed stong to last on long sea voyages. Now sold under the name "Explorer Ale". Typical of the style and certainly not to everyone's taste. Certainly NOT a "session beer"! "

[2] Review by yog from Harwich, United Kingdom who has tried this beer many times. (10/25/2006 6:09:57 AM)
"Fantastic beer first brewed for 2004 Harwich Winter Beer Festival to mark 400 years of Harwich being granted Royal Charter. Tastes different depending on vessel. Best tasting was from old sherry cask - jet black with little or no carbonation, massive winter fruit taste, huge hop bill shows through as lingering taste rather than gob-smacking hop flavour. Bottles are supposed to age well - have still got two to open."
