Jan 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear amber with a small head. Strong malty aroma, mirrored in the taste, but with a strong hop finish. Decent bitter, but didn’t wow me.

Jan 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep red with a wonderful thick head. Aroma is strong malt with slight hop as well, definitely building anticipation of this English ale. Taste is heavy malt and hop, with noticeable spices as well. Beer finishes dry with highly present Cascade hops. Not a spectacular beer, but very solid.

Jan 5, 2008 Rusty red pour with a somewhat thick head. Strong armoma. A lot of hops and some earty malts with a bit of spice. Very bitter dry taste with an even more bitter aftertaste. Reminds me of an APA or something with Cascade hops. Sadly I’m not a fan of bitteryly hopped beer.

Jan 5, 2008 From bottle : Pours a clear darker amber color, with a small, fast dieing white head. Nose of malt and fruit, with some mediciney tones. Taste is pretty bitter, and that is about all i get from it, there isnt much taste at all to it. Medium body, with all the bitterness, and a bitter aftertaste. Not that enjoyable.

Dec 29, 2007 A heck of a mild English ale, not a lot of bold character for this desensitized Yank. Maybe I need to put this together with some soft-but-deep pastoral works of Brits I actually take much liking to, like Delius and Vaughan Williams, to make this work. Funny thing is, I’m working my way through a whole selection of works on Napster specifically dubbed "pastoral" as I type, and it’s not helping. But being as they aren’t by Frederick or Ralph (better pronounce it "Rafe," or else!), maybe they just aren’t the right ones.
My advice is to stick with the Brits for good sources of music (if not Freddy or Rafey, then at least the ’Head or the Tree), less so for the ales.
