| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 25, 2007 Decent pale ale, but perhaps a bit bland. Definitely nothing special, as English microbrews go, but easy to quaff Fresh-tasting. Angeloregon (2036), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 21, 2007 From a bottle--pourd a copper-golden hue with a big white head. Nose of grainy malts and mildly citrus hops. Pretty thin, well carbonated. Finished bitter and sweet but kind of bland. Decent enough beer, but not for the import price. ogivlado (3095), Zagreb, Croatia
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 12, 2007 Bottled(500ml). -Cooper/orange coloured, medium to big pale beige head, dusty cereals and malt nose. Malty and nice hoppy aroma with notes of yeast. Bittersweet and very dry finish. BrianHagmeier (257), Coralville, Iowa, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Dec 6, 2007 Frothy pour with lots of lacing and longevity. Nice looking red/gold beer with a light malt and coffee aroma. Great mouth feel. Full body and creamy. Flavor is a little smoky and malty with a nice even bitter finish. I should have grabbed two of these. oteyj (810), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Dec 5, 2007 A refreshing citrusy bitter with clean dry mouthfeel. A bit watery on the plate though. Also, malt content was lacking in terms of flavour. Overall enjoyable, but there are much better bitters out there. Wulfstan (509), California, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Dec 3, 2007 This is an excellent, very well-balanced, dry, flavourful bitter. It is a copper-amber with a big, thick, dense, of-white head that lasts and slowly reduces to a smaller head that never diminishes, leaving some lacing. The aroma is plums, malt, toasted grain. The taste has definite, moderate bitterness up front but with a sweet balance and the two are very well balanced, leaving the beer with a definite bitterness but one that is nicely backed up and it is very dry and crisp. It tastes of toasted grain with a hint of caramel, the palate is tingly and lively with a long, smooth finish that is neverthless crisp and, as the bottle says, "bittersweet." The finish is clean with a pine bitterness balanced with grain and mild sweetness. joe19612 (702), camberley, Surrey, England

| 1.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 4/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/20 | Nov 25, 2007 Well maybe I got a bad bottle b/c this was by no means good or acceptable. Smelled poorly, tasted poorly, bad mouthfeel. It was like a semi-bad beer and I got the funky one of the batch. A bit of DMS, a bit sour, etc. At least I got a nice bottle to re-use with something worth drinking.
