Aug 13, 2006 This, to me, is the prototypical British Bitter. An exemplary example of the style.
Copper, cool and quaffable.
Great lacing in the head, a refreshing aroma of fresh-mown hay and a balanced blend of hop spiciness and malty fullness.

Aug 9, 2006 Interesting very heavy bottle 1 pt .9 oz bottle. Very heavy! Seems darker than usual, but i suppose if it’s thicker, then it would be darker....
Cloudy orangish amber. Very thick head creamy off white. Thick lacing with a extra strip of lace at the top.
Strange very dry grain smell NOT sweet. Cant’ quite pinpoint the smell, [spice of some sort] not unpleasant, but not like any pale ale I’ve had before.
Mouth-feel is somewhat thin and light, with some hoppy back bitterness. That smell is present at the back flavors but still unidentifiable.
Since I haven’t had much [recently anyways] exposure to an *English* pale ale, this might be more *spot* on, but at the moment, its a little different.
Drinkable, ale that I’ll have to try again.
[ as is usual with most liquor stores i go to, this one might be old, and been overly warmed up]

Jul 10, 2006 Served at room temp out of the bottle. Redish copper color with a big white head. I really enjoyed this beer and could have had many of them. A creamy malty body that is carbonated to perfection. Great bitter finish that warms the body.

Jul 3, 2006 [Bottled at East End Brewery, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong] Brownish amber, clear, firm head. Pleasant mangoish hop aroma. Dryish with clean mouthfeel Pleasant biscuity malt flavour. The moutfheel is short and quickly replaced by grassy bitterness with a touch of sulphur. Unadventurous, but well crafted.

Jun 25, 2006 Bready, oaty aroma. Appearance is like that of bourbon only with an extremely small white line (read: head). Taste is noticeably malty with a light hop kick finish.

Jun 8, 2006 Beer pours light apricot color with a somewhat retained, off white colored head that laces. Aroma is rather pedistrian with some subltle biscuit malt, a sweet aroma, and a faint hint of hops. Flavor is all about boring. A very mild malt flavor. The finish is mildly hoppy and dry. This is, I suppose, what bitters are about. I guess, I am not a huge fan of the style.

Jun 4, 2006 Huge rocky fluffy head. Nice light red copper color with thin sticky lacing.
I had a tough time pinning this taste. It was fruity but not in a berry way. A bit crisper... perhaps an apple or something more along those lines. A good hop balance with yeasty undertones and some thin malt taste.
Very hoppy bitter palate. Very dry and strong finish.
This is a good beer. I’ll pick this one up again.
