Amber in colour with golden hints, good well sited crown on top.
Good, clean fresh hoppy nose well supported by malty character below. Aroma set up simplistic but in this case worked well. (6.75/10)
Medium bodied ale with clear yet short burst of green bitters, woody with acidic oak notes. Tangy finish with soapy hop blend. This ale has some character but missing true soul of greatness.

Taste is little sweet and caramel malty, quite bitter. Bitter and dry palate. mjg74 (1997), La Mesa, California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 18, 2006 Bottle from BevMo La Mesa. Pours a medium copper color. Aroam is sweet with some acidity. It also has a little bit of an aroma like those orange chewy peanut candies. Some roasted malts too. Nice bitter malty character with that earthy English thing going on. Finish is a little hoppy and bitter. Not bad. mutant (854), Melbourne, Australia
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | May 4, 2005 Hey, I just noticed it’s a Wychwood product without a wanky label. They can do it when they want to. Copper colour with a close, robust white head. Nice balance between maltiness and bitterness. However there is quite a pronounced taste of alcohol in the finish which should not happen at this abv. Rather spoils what would otherwise be a very good beer. Drew (2409), Kent, Ohio, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 21, 2005 A lone interesting bottle in a cooler at a wine store near Virginia Square. Thanks to Joe’s sharp eyesight I didn’t leave empty handed. Clear brown - I’d say it looked like iced tea - actually, it was a nice color, very visually appealing to me for some reason, it was like a contemplative color. Aroma was earthy with floral hops and light toffee. Mild malty flavor with almond and warm hops and some anise at the end. PorterPounder (3137), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 13, 2006 Whole Foods, Baton Rouge, La., 500 bottle. Light copper pour, thin, sticky white head with a wee bit of lacing. Fresh, but faint, grassy aroma, hints of Christmas spices. Decent subtle bitterness, faint fruitness, some nuttiness. Finishes with a buttery note. Nothing really jumps out and grabs you in the flavor, but it is clean and smooth. Good session possibilities. Palate, slightly thin, but not watery.

| 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.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 24, 2008 A hazy dark amber ale with a thin off white head. Light herbal hops and malt in aroma, faint. In mouth, good crisp ale with good resinous hops, light caramel, and light mineral notes, herbaceous qualities. Nice ale. Bought at LCBO. BB 5/12/08.
