Jul 14, 2004 Extremely drinkable, a very nice beer also when served cold. This is one of my favourite beers ever. The aroma is a bit closed, but the beer looks fine and has the correct (for me) amount of bitterness.

Aug 20, 2004 Let me just start by saying I really like the bottle design, and the label shape complements it well. That’s not factored into my rating, but it is an appealing product on the shelf. It probably factored into my decision to buy it. Anyway, it pours an attractive lightly hazy red-tinted amber. The aroma is lively with light fruits, some grassy and peppery hops, also hinting at a smoky tobacco leaf. Palate is medium and very smooth, with fruity malts giving way to earthy and peppery notes. Very smooth, very drinkable, with alot of character. I could drink a ton of this stuff, and would love to just have a cask of it sitting around.

May 24, 2004 Updated: Jan 22, 2008Second Sample: Wow. I love this beer. The last sample I had came across as this wild hybrid of Anderson Valley Pale Ale (mainly, the hop component) and Rochefort. The beer is incredibly soft, with this beautiful, restrained malt richness and gentle hop flavor. Absolutely perfect.
Damn, that’s English. The flavors are the usual suspects: butterscotch, dirty English fruitiness, dirty English hops. I am generally bored by beers with that profile, but the balance of this one is simply incredible. An easy session bitter. Actually quite nice, really.

Dec 22, 2003 Updated: Dec 29, 2003Orange and clear with a good lasting tan head. Interesting, complex, fruity aroma, with notes of hops, apricot, and peach. Full malt palate, balanced with hops, and notes of carmel. Hop flavor lingers on the tongue. Well made.

Jan 16, 2006 12 oz. bottle. The soft and sturdy hops on the nose actaully belie the entrance on the palate. As a short dry fruit flavour develops a salty hoppy richness overcomes the tongue. Can I really taste the sea air? Amazingliy refreshing. Thank God it’s sold in four packs rather than sixers.

Aug 4, 2005 This is one of the best bitter I’ve found. Good flavor, but still very smooth for a bitter.

Sep 18, 2006 Can, 50 cl. An outstanding bitter, with a full flavour that sould be the envy of many stronger beers. Hints of raisins, of stra plus a wonderful flowery bitterness from the hops.
