Beer review 017 : Old Crafty Hen

Chris tries the similar sounding beer to the the Old Crafty Dad.

Is it the same thing? Was he hoodwinked into buying the same beer twice?

ABV 6.5

They say:

Aroma: Toffee, Raisins

Taste: Dried fruit, Malty, Rich

Malt: Pale, Crystal

Hops: Pilgrim, First Gold, Goldings, Target

Additional Notes:

Pilgrim provides a key herbal dry hop character, first gold and goldings give some citrus fruit and crystal malt provides warming toffee in the main beer of this blended ale. The use of some old 5X 12% ale adds dried fruit and raisin and produces a complex flavoured and richly satisfying ale.
