I loved it. Very sweet and very "beer-tasting." Excellent choice, as I have been drinking IPAs for a week and have found some of them tough to drink. Guess I’m a newbie. Still a great brew.

Hazy amber with a small hite head. Fruity aroma with marmalade, lemon and peach. Sweet fruity flavour with a little alcohol showing. Decent bitter finish.

Cask (gravity) @ GBBF 09, Great British Beer Festival, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London, England.
Light unclear medium to dark amber color with a small to average, fizzy, virtually none lacing, fully lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, raisin, wood, moderate to heavy hoppy, orange, overripped fruit, moderate alcohol. Flavor is light heavy sweet and bitter with a long to average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. Flavor and aroma is very sweet. [20090807]

Hazy deep orange color. Big puffy head. Minor spotty lace. Thin jetsam of carbonation. The aroma is an inoffensive but weak ale smell. Ale yeast and malt, slightly pale. Some mild, almost pilsnery bitter hops. The taste is almost like a lager: Crisp, bitterish light malt. Like a thick all-malt lager. Very nondescript but not bad. The feel is thick and creamy...and very malty. A good, decent ale. Not a ton of flavor, but easy drinking.

VEry good, a nice taste of roasted malts but not like an stout or others, just as nutty as other brown good ales.

Cask@GBBF. Dark nut brown color, small white head. Aroma has toffee, nuts, grassy-wwoody hops. Grassy hops, quite nutty, but also some vegetably notes. Lingering alcohol in the aftertaste.

Cask. Amber colour, not too much head. Aroma is wooden, earthy, mild sourish fruity notes as well as some nuttyness. Flavour is caramel, wood, some maplesyrup, mild spices as well as some slight alcoholic sweet notes.

Sweet and mild candy aroma. Light hazy orange color with a small off white head. Moderate sour beginning that fades in the finish.
