| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | 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 (2236), San Francisco, California, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 15, 2007 I had no idea this was a Wychwood beer until I read the fine print. Wow. Anyway, mine’s labeled "English Ale", but I’m pretty sure this is the same beer. Mine poured a ruddy, rusty orage with a wet, bumpy head. The aroma is very airy, but bittersweet, almost sour, musty, and honey-like. The same impression carries to the flavors ... slightly sour, almost citrusy, but like a blood orange, rindy, and while short of puckery, a bit tart.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 9, 2007 Bottle (500ml). Shared with mds and tupalev, tupalev’s bottle. Hazy orange, smallish bubbly-frothy head. Soft, earthy bready yeast aroma, sweet but light. Very grainy and soft taste, odd hint of orange zest in it, sweet aftertaste. Light yet full body, wheaty and mildly malty, not much carbonation - a little sweet for an ESB, but pleasant. Miguel (1181), Saint-Ours, Quebec, Canada
