Jun 4, 2005 Aroma is of very ripe fruit, although it is not a strong aroma. Has the feel of an Old World brew which is very appealing. An initial kick settles into a light bitterness. This beer is very drinkable, smooth and easy. Was sorry to see the pint go dry.

May 22, 2005 Lightly bittered, a large foamy head that disapated quicky. Almost no nose at all, a tinge of citrus, not bad but like yainikim say "not an ale"

May 21, 2005 Bright, clean copper/gold, BIG fluffy white head. Where’s the nose on this? hang on there’s a hint of spice coming through now...and that’s it ...ooohh!!disappointing! Bland palate, light and grainy, short finish. It must be a couple of years since I last tasted this, has it really gone downhill that much?

May 20, 2005 Looks good. The head lasted very well. Hint of sweetness in the aroma and also in the flavour. Good, bitter finish. Not hugely complex, but satisfying.

May 20, 2005 I like this stuff, even though it is quite an old man’s drink. It slips down your throat like a weasel down a drainpipe and just the smell of it reminds me of a Yorkshire Dales pub in winter time, the fire roaring in the grate and local farmers sitting at the bar discussing lambing. Goes very well with red meat I’ve found, especially steak pie. A very drinkable ale,
if, of course, you’re an ale fan.

May 19, 2005 Updated: Nov 10, 2005Retasted 07/11/2005. 500ml bottle from Liquorland, Miramar.
Bright orange amber with a light, tight, white head that lingers rather than holds. Sticky lacing. Big perfumey, orange, malt aroma with toasty hints. Some delicate hop fruitiness is suggested later. Dry, roasted, malt-driven character that allows through a delicate sweetness in the finish, becoming more noticeable as it warms. Mouthfeel is on the light end of the spectrum. Nice, easy, drinking but it’s too light and simple to get close to spectacular.

May 16, 2005 This was ok. Poured a clear amber with small head. Nose is weak with sugar and spice? Nothing great, easy to drink, with a watery mouth feel.

May 15, 2005 Copper colored and clear with a thin creamy head. Caramel and wet cardboard aroma. Light in body with a mild bitter finish. Flavors if malt and toffee and a bit of earthy hops.
