May 30, 2006 Looks quite nice, amber colour. Cream head, good lacing. Malty, some hops there too. A bit fruity, but not a great deal there, behind the malts. Nice mid-length bitter aftertaste, dry.

May 30, 2006 1.09 pint bottle.
Nice enough looking ale darker amber than most ESBs..nice frothy/bubbly creme coloured head.
Liked the real English malt aroma to this, fruity and pipe tobbacco hints quite nice.
Nice bitter/sweet malts dominate the mouth then theres asmattering of hops to break it up,also gets rather creamy before a semi-dry finish and a long lingering bitter chocolate aftertaste.
Very good on the palate..quite smooth then dries out..well done.
I liked this beer..then i do like the English style brews..and it packs plenty flavour for 4.4 alc.

May 28, 2006 This is a very dry beer but it has the weight and chewiness of a much sweeter brew. There’s a yeastiness in the aroma. It’s filtered chilled so it better be bright but it sits very well on the tongue.

May 28, 2006 Appearance of this beer would be almost perfect if there was a nice head on it. a great red-orange colour with small carbination bubbles and a thin white head that was gone in the blink of an eye. Aroma of fruits and caramel, but tastes of bitter hops. Definitely deserves the name of Premium Bitter.

May 27, 2006 500ml Bottle: Pours a beautiful deep amber-orange with almost no head. Aroma of sweet caramel and fruit, which is completely absent in the taste. Hits hard with bitter hops, quite strong for what I expected based on the appearance. A gentle oak flavour, but everything is overwhelmed by the bitter. I’m not a bitter fan, but if you are, definitely try this one out.

May 23, 2006 Bottle 50cl. Poured dark crystal amber, with a small and quickly disappearing off white head. Aromas of nutty/chocolatey malts. A lovely spicy, perhaps oaky, malt bitter taste, and a similar malt bitter finish. Very tasty bitter, one of my favourites.

May 22, 2006 Updated: Jul 2, 2007Dry and thin. A tad spicy. Bitter-sweet like the label says (though not that sweet). Amber but not clear. No head - which is fine with me. Quickly becomes more bitter with exposure to air. Good carbonation.

May 19, 2006 Bottle. Copper-amber color with long lasting creamy head. Tart, fruity and caramelly Goldings hop aroma with some malt, fruity esters and vanilla. Fruity hops and toasted malt in the flavor. Dry, salty and bitter finish with strong Golding hop and toasted malt character.
