This bottled marked best before 12/04 foamed up and out of the bottle as soon as it was uncapped! It was very foamy with finely sized off-white colored long lasting bubbles that left behind a clinging lace. The body was transparent carbonated and brown in color. It looked tantalizing and very appealing. The aroma was malty. Its smooth initial mouth feel was well balanced with a mild tingle and a mild hop finish. The flavor was nice and even with a good amount of caramel. It was very yummy mostly due to its being well balanced well rounded.

A fine british ale. Amber and with a medium head. Flowers in the aroma, and not as much bitterness as normal. Light.

Had high hopes for this one - slightly dissapointed. Dark copper appearance with a very fluffy off-white head. Aroma of stale oranges, not altogether pleasant. Flavor - slightly vineragy and tangy. Has some muted overripe fruit accents. Mouthfeel was decent enough. Had better from this brewer.

Very tangy. Good bottle, OK label. Tart, not very complex, generally disappointing.

Copper body with weak white head. Nose is nutty and sweet. Caramel and toffee. Medium to light body. Flavor was bitter and unimpressive. Wouldn’t drink again.

Medium sized offwhite head, good retention and a nice lace.Lovely clear amber/red brew. Spicey hop nose, lightly fruity, yeasty. Med/light body. Good hop flavor and bite. Biscuity malts, well balanced ale. Finish is dry, hoppy. Good session brew.

This pours a light brown and smells of honey and slight malt. The flavor is light with few hops. Not much else going on here.

Ruby red clear color with a small white head. Has a malty sweet and diacetyl aroma. An okay but not very impresive beer.
