Jan 16, 2009 Draft in Aug ’08: Poured a orange amber with not much head. The aroma was hops. The flavor was weak, a tad watered down. It did however have hops and bitters present. Just not enough. Overall, a nice session beer, which is what they were going for.

Jul 29, 2008 A very light take on the style, blink and you’ll miss it. Very weak and watery, with a bland caramel malt body, and some light floral hop notes. Very soft on the palate, but needs some tweaking.

Jul 13, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Lots of water! Slight bitter hop note mixed in there somewhere, but missing quite a bit. Skip it.

Dec 16, 2007 On tap at the brewpub on 10/14/07: Transparent bronze amber pour has a wispy-lacing stringy white head. Slightly toasty pale malted sweet nose has some English hoppy balance. Lightly carbonated body has a good British malty sweetness and light bittering hoppy balance toward a smooth finish. Authentic and drinkable.

Nov 1, 2007 Cask @ CooperSmiths: Poured a clear copper color with an almost white head. Toffee and nutty aroma with some citrus notes. The flavor was light. Light nutty malt with a mild bitter finish. Light body and low carbonation. To style but not mine.
