Nov 26, 2009 Bottle shared by peregrinari: Transparent deep golden with a frothy, well-lacing off-white head. Aroma of semi-sweet toasty pale malt with some grassy English hops and light oxidation. Starts with a lightly sugary sweetness and some grassy hop bitterness before a drier, thin finish. Pretty bland, but drinkable.

Nov 23, 2009 500 ml. bottle from Trader Joe’s. Pours a medium white head, with heavy lacing, over a slightly cloudy golden (SRM 5-6) body....nose is mild malts (bready, biscuit) with a bit of hop spice......taste is light toffee, cereal (Grapenuts) with a light hop bitter finish....mouth feel is soft and light, carbonation medium. This is slightly lower in hop character than some of the other English Pale Ales I have tasted, but if one gives it the "Scottish" take of lower hops, it is quite pleasant.

Nov 18, 2009 Bottle sampled at the DC Local tasting. Pours a pale yellow with a frothy white head. Someone at the tasting said, "it smells like rotting vegetables." Earthy, musty in the nose too. Flavor is a little better, citrus hops, grass, a little honey. Finish is watery. Kinda terrible.

Nov 10, 2009 Pale golden pour with a thick, sticky white head. The nose is quite crackery with a little bit of light orange peel. There is a really nice marmalade-like sweetness. A kiss of earthy hoppiness with a lingering cologne-like spiciness. Nice balance with a touch of soft fruitiness mingling with the crackery sweetness. I quite like this.

Oct 2, 2009 Pours a clear amber with a thick but not persistent white head. The bottle fizzed like nobody’s business when I opened it. Aroma is crisp and malty with just a hint of banana, not very strong. Flavor is rather wan, malty and without complexity though there is a nicely bitter undertone. Texture is smooth and just a little tingly.
