JoeMcPhee (4893), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Apr 8, 2007 500 ml bottle. Clear orange-amber beer with a white head. Aroma is quite leafy with orange marmalade notes and a soft earthy character as well. There is a bit of cherry and a touch of celery as well. Lovely malt character. Very British tasting (perhaps unsurprisingly). Flavour also shows soft leafy hoppiness behind the sweet pale malt. Decent brew. Brewosk (137), Illinois, USA Apr 6, 2007 Some citrus orange flavor. Nice amber orange color. Fruity hoppiness with interesting peppery bitterness. Organic, from a bottle, 16.9 ounces at Woodman’s. Cletus (5001), Connecticut, USA Apr 1, 2007 Pours copper with a thin ring of white bubbles. Smells of citrus, earthy tea and pepper. Tastes of oranges and aspirin with a tangy finish. faroeviking (6024), Republica Vikingo de las, Faroe Islands Mar 24, 2007 Bottle. Pours a nice amber colour with a small mostly diminishing creamy off-whitish head leaving a decent lacing. Aroma of toastymalt, caramel, good fruitiness. Flavour of fruity hops, some caramel, toasted malt, barley, some citrus. Pleasant bitterness in the finish. 5000 (2409), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA Mar 23, 2007 Bottle: Hazy amber, dark, moderate to large fluffy sand colored head, patchy lacing.   Pale malt nose, even softer hop presense   Seems to be a very slight foral/herbal aspect.   Some biscuit, dull plant like flavors as well.   Maybe like those indoor cactus plants.   Soft malts, Marris otter maybe?   Moderate body and mouthfeel.   Fairly clean finish, soft biscuit lingers.   Enjoyable.
beachbum25 (778), Powellville, Maryland, USA Mar 6, 2007 500 ML Bottle-Poured a cloudy amber color w/a slight head. Floral hopped aroma. Stale bread dough/yeast flavor w/a creamy texture I didn’t find too appealing. Didn’t find this to have much of a hop flavor, maybe the barley was just too strong & overpowered it. Did have a little bit of a bitter finish but it wasn’t enough to save this one, didn’t taste nearly as good as it looked. I wouldn’t drink it again. Derek881 (489), Frederick, Maryland, USA Mar 5, 2007 Enjoyed this beer poured from a 500 mL bottle; mine was labeled "English Ale," but assuming this beer is the same. The aroma was quite good, sweet floral hops, with piney and citrus hints too. Some caramel malt, and some fruity scents too of pear and orange. It poured a cloudy, orange-amber color with a thin white head that was quickly gone. The taste was a unique with mild bitterness, some sour aspects and a hearty wheatiness; it really did taste extra fresh and organic. The beer was wet with only light carbonation and a slightly dry finish; it had a grainy, natural taste and texture. When I was done the aftertaste and feeling in my mouth was almost as if I had just eaten a pear. jazz88 (2235), San Francisco, California, USA Feb 23, 2007 Bottle. A hazed reddish orange color (a/ka/ murkey amber) with a quickly laced white bubley head. Malty, caramel, bright hops, flowers, with an earthy base. Wet on the palate with an organic grain like finish.
