eraserhd10 (226), new haven, Connecticut, USA Nov 24, 2003 A pleasing & pleasant bitter that makes one long for the dank, musty darkness of an English Pub. Pours a radiant copper-gold with a slight-white lacy head. Tastes initially of sweet malts that are quickly overrun by strong, oatmealy hops. Grainy. Hops throughout. Not as "bitter" as one might hope!
FlyingSwine (143), Littleton, Colorado, USA Nov 28, 2008 I was a bit disappointed in this one. Pours a clear straw with a decent froth. NO lacing. Aroma is light hops. Flavor has maily light hops, some very weak malt, witha bit of banana. Palate is watery and slightly carbonated. Overall a drinkable, but diappointing beer. jjpm74 (3446), Connecticut, USA Nov 16, 2008 Bottle courtesy of durhambeer. Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells of dry malt, some light citrus. Tastes of hay, dry malt, light pepper. A touch of bitterness is present on the finish. fonefan (5507), Ulfborg, Denmark Oct 28, 2008 <b>Bottle 50cl. @ home.</b><br />Light unclear light to medium amber orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, moderate hoppy, grass, orange. Flavor is moderate to light light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (130808) nearbeer (1383), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Sep 26, 2008 500 ml. Burnt orange with a half-inch of lasting meringue that leaves crunchy-creamy frosting on the pint glass. Aroma is caramel, apple with the pithy core, hints of earthy-spiced orange and split wood. Flavor is a bit milder: caramel, light orange and tart apple, with an overarching citric-chalky bitterness. Light body is mostly smooth, slightly watery and nearly astringently dry. KAggie97 (2023), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA Sep 24, 2008 Bottle. Pours like a typical English bitter- cheddar orange, nice white head, and a slightly active body. Aroma is pure British bitter, with a slight buttery malted nut in the background. Flavor is sour lake water with hints of long-forgotten nut and algae. Watery mouthfeel. Not good at all, at least in a bottle.
