Jan 6, 2006 The aroma is floral, soapy, cheesy, and malty. The appearance is copper with a medium head and lots of small particulates. I would also like to mention that there is a metallic taste to it not unlike copper. Besides that it has an ok flavor that mirrors the aroma. There is soap, a mildly bitter hop, and plenty of sweet malt and yeast. The palate is just average. Overall it’s not terrible but not great either.

Dec 26, 2005 Amber Coloring with White Ring. Bitter Sweet Malt Aroma. Dry Hops and Blueberry Flavor. Not as Tasty as One Would Hope.

Dec 24, 2005 Updated: Jul 19, 2009Wonderfully lively color. The nose has a very fresh hop bouquet, slightly herbal. Nice and refreshing. Not a blockbuster with the hops but very much making a perfect foil for the frutiy malt palate. It is almost impossible to get bitter here in the U.S. due to the fact that the beer doesn’t travel well. But I think the bottle conditioned version of this beer does just nicely, one bottle always makes me crave another.

Dec 16, 2005 Amber color with a thin head. Aroma was a complete dead pan. Taste was barely there but... corriander? What the hell is that doing in my bitter?! Very watery.

Dec 15, 2005 Bright fire-orange, filled with sparkle, small cream head, light aroma of flowers and yeast. Nice malt-hops balance, just pleasantly bitter but smooth and light, a great session beer, but I may be biased as I really like this style.

Nov 28, 2005 I had this on tap at Mister Goodbar, but not on cask, so I would imagine that this would be the correct listing. Bright copper color, light beige head that mostly stuck around. Aroma is a nice blance of sweet, fruity malt and floral, English hops. Flavor delivers but the body is a bit light and doesn’t carry it across all that well. Otherwise, this is a very nice bitter. I got lucky by finding this on tap because I can’t imagine it being any better out of the bottle. Actually I would bet that it is far worse out of the bottle.

Nov 24, 2005 Clear, deep golden body with substantial carbonation and a minimal white head. Aroma of toasted straw, apples, black tea, and yeast. Flavor is of delicate, fruity Maris Otter malt with a cidery quality. Palate is a little watery. Drinkable, but nothing special.

Nov 20, 2005 Small head from a 1 pt. bottle. Rather nondescript in both apperance and flavor. A bit bitter but no real bite.
