This is a brown cloudy beer with very little head. What little head it has has very large bubbles. Lacing is also also very poor. The taste simulates a cold caramel flavored coffee. Slightly smokey with a burnt malt flavor. Crisp and cool, slightly bitter. Not a very great beer. palate is also sour.

Amber, offwhite head. Aroma is malty with tofee and vanilla. Flavor is pretty much the same. with toffe and malts. But this was a little too thin to get a high rating.

11 June 2004 - Sweet chemical and malt aroma. Poor retention and lacing, cloudt orange brown. Mega hop driven flavour with a clinging roof of the mouth bitternes with medium sweetness. Flatish light lingering palate.

Chemical malt aroma with cloudy caramel colour and little head. Bitter sour malt flavour with smooth palate. Don’t think i will try this one again for a long time.

Nut brown colour with a decently lacing head. Aroma and flavour has a malty base (nuts) with some fruit and hops. Finish is medium bitter. A solid British bitter but nothing more.

Hazy orange copper color, decent white foamy head that leaves some lacing in the glass, light nutty caramel aroma. Light body and has a crisp carbonated mouthfeel, balanced malt and hop flavors, nice clean bitterness, finishes dry. Great session brew, very tasty and drinkable.

Aroma has some weird funky chlorinated sour notes mixed with a whack of malt. Appearance was cloudy brown with a poor head and no lacing. Flavour was initially malty, slightly fruity with a nasty sticky bitter aftertaste. Fairly thin and finishes resinously bitter. Disappointment.

Amber colored with a large head. A nice orangish cherry aroma. The flavor is slightly bitter with some bread, caramel, and sour fruit. A good mouthfeel. My what an excellent bitter we have here!
