Jan 8, 2008 Slightly old bottle, so I got it on discount.
Pours a beautiful deep amber color with a nice 1cm white creamy-looking head. This beer is fun to look at.
Aroma: hops, grass, hay. Very subtle.
Taste: Nicely bitter! This beer conjures up for me a cozy English pub with a wood fire. It is excellent with artisan cheese (I had goat) and a sweet meat pie (venison). Well-balanced, if a bit on the plain side.
Palate: Smooth and classic.
Overall: This is a wonderful session beer. It’s classic enough to not be complicated, but still be enjoyable. This is an example of English understatement in the best tradition. Not quite as polished as their ESB, but I’d gladly seek it out. I’m anxious to try the draught version as soon as I can.

Dec 27, 2007 Updated: Jun 15, 2008RE-RATE. Bottle (500ml). Poured amber with a dense, fluffy, off-white head which was mostly lasting. Aroma was of English marmalade with earthy hops, sweet biscuity malts, butterscotch and some juicy oranges. Flavor was an earthy hop bitterness with dry biscuity malts, English marmalade, caramel and some orange citrus. Medium bodied with soft carbonation, a dry/creamy mouthfeel, watery texture and a good finish. Very well balanced and highly sessionable.

Dec 23, 2007 Bottle. Amber coloured with a slight white head. Sweet malt aroma with some dusty hops. The flavour had some biscuit malt, a hint of red fruit and a decent bitter finish. Slightly less sweet overall than recent examples of the cask version. Good.

4.7% ABV
I tried this beer on November 2, 2007 after purchasing at my local LCBO outlet. The beer poured a translucent gold colour with a large, loose, white head. The aroma is a mixture of malt and hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied. mild carbonation, and almost ’dry’. TRhe flavour is mainly malt, with some hops, and grassy tomes to round it out.
