Pours a clear copper. Aroma is slightly sweet and malty. Taste isn’t overwhelming in any specific area. Good dose of malts though. Not too hoppy. Has a background flavor that reminds me a lot of Newcastle. Overall, pretty good.

Well...it looks very nice in a glass, but I’m afraid I consider this to be a very boring beer. Nothing exciting in the taste...I’m sure this was a great beer back in 1830 or whatever the hell.

Pours a clear copper with a layer of cream-colored head. Aromas of malts and caramelized/burnt sugar (subtle) and biscuit. Flavor malt and hops. Really nothing special but an okay choice for something light.

Pours a light copper color with an off-white two-finger head. Tastes of malt, subdued bitter hops, and a nice slightly dry finish. What it lacks in character it more than makes up for it with consistency. There are better English Ales but this one is pretty good and can be found almost anywhere.

[WBA Styles Tasting] Clear copper color. Fruity, biscuit malt aroma. Slight licorice in the nose. Very bitter and dry, with a slightly oxidized, mineral flavor. Some residual sweetness towards the end.

On tap at The Crest, Torrance, 02/02/08. VERY clear brassy pour. No bubbles, quickly dissipating head. Sweet corny malt aroma. Sweet malty taste that turns into crisp green apples. Slight bitterness peeks through at end. Light, easy to drink session beer. You can easily do much, much worse.
