Sep 15, 2008 Updated: Sep 10, 2009On tap at Drop Off Service in New York City, it tasted weak and watered down. But I purchased a bottle and gave it another try - this time it rates higher. It looks great: an amber pour with a nice, lazy head and lace. The hefty bottle is decorated with a simple, but attractive label. Soft mouthfeel and mild, dry English hops. Pleasant flavor with a little astringency and a hint of lemon zest. It is a little on the light side, but this is still a gold standard English bitter.

Sep 12, 2008 Pleasant aroma of carmelized malts, slight hoppyness. THe appearance is a cvlear orange, white head. Flavor is of caramel malts, and a slight hop bite. The finish is appropriately bitter, with a nice lingering hop signature. Not bad, like a weaker cousin of Bass Ale.

Sep 9, 2008 16 ounce can from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a very nice looking amber with off-white head. Nice aroma of caramelized malt with nicely balanced hop. Flavor has a pleasing malty backbone with nice hop flavor with slight bitter. Im going to say this is a Co2 and nitro combination, low-medium carbonation with creamy mouthfeel, threw me off at first, wasn’t expecting that.....smooth....Overall, this is a enjoyable beer....
