Aug 6, 2007 1 pt. 0.9 fl oz (US) Bottle. Nice reddish-bronze pour but a bit cloudier than I imagined it would be. It even sounded nice pouring into the glass. Pleasing aroma of barley and hops. Heavy mouthfeel. Delightfully mild, refreshing taste with a hint of citrus but not overpowering at all. It is probably the best brew from Wychwood that I’ve been able to sample and I would definitely buy it again. My little way to help out the Prince of Wales Charitable Foundation?

Aug 2, 2007 50 cl. bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orange/copper. Grain and caramel malty aroma with some dusty hay, grass, and orangey hops. Light caramel malt flavor with an underlying orangey tartness. Moderate citrusy and grassy hop bitterness on the finish, which unfortunately leads into a soapy aftertaste. Kind of a weird slippery mouthfeel in this one. Not that great, but at least it’s for a good cause (I think).

Jul 24, 2007 50 cL bottle. Labeled as English Ale, rather than just ale. It’s got that nifty English malt aroma that just doesn’t pop up on this side of the pond. Hazy light amber color with a white head that left. Thin to medium bodied. Nearly creamy carbonation. The flavor is spicey caramel with balancing hop. Tingles the mouth. The finish is almost dry, residual malt notes, and spicy/floral hop. Really very tasty.

Jul 16, 2007 Bottle 500ml. Pours a good ruby colour with large tan head. Aromas of, well, I don’t really know! It’s kind of hops in wet earth – you know, that smell you get after a rain storm on a warm day. There are hints of orange there as well. Flavours of caramel and cola, with malts. Very soapy mouthfeel that seems to intensify for a short while after sipping – too much, really. Once the soapyness subsides, there is a spicy aftertaste. I have to wonder if Prince Charles has actually tasted this ale?

Jul 10, 2007 [399-20070705] 500mL. Beery sweet vegetable yeast aroma with muted malt. Clear, amber brown body with a big fluffy off-white head. Malty grain bread flavour with a bit of toasted corn. Medium body is a bit watery and smooth. Fine blending but not a favourite.

Jul 8, 2007 Average sub-par session beer. Bottle and label had me in for sophisticated, but this was bland walnuts. A few fruit and hop notes, but nothing really to go, hmmm. I guess it warmed up nice though, but still...no dogs allowed

Jun 25, 2007 Updated: Jan 27, 2009500 mL. Cloudy, dark iced tea color with a large, lasting head. Aroma is spiced brown sugar. Flavor is an excellent balance of the same malty caramel-brown sugar and dryish yeast and the right dose of bitter herb hops. Palate is smooth, medium bodied and slightly dry, with a watery finish. Underrated.
