Golden with white head. Aroma of malt with red fruit. Flavor is with hints of caramel malt and hop spices. Nekronos (2265), Xalapa, Mexico

Although it has more bubbles than usual, as some may say. It is dark, and bitter. Mads Langtved (2246), Copenhagen K, Denmark
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 13, 2002 A very nice beer. The hops are obvious and the beer has a nice red colour and is quite easy to drink. jazz88 (2238), San Francisco, California, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jun 29, 2002 Bottle. Nice bitter buterscotch aroma. A crisp, dry, slightly metallic, and watery beer with a little hop bite but nothing much else going for it. Pigfoot (2226), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 29, 2004 Dark bronze color, medium amber at the edges, with a nice 3/4" fluffy white head. Aromatics are soft, creamy, herbal, with a touch of spice, and a little hint of fruit, with a hint of apple and citrus.
Assertive hoppy bite upfront on the palate, which slowly, softly subsides. A touch of copper exists as well. Texture and body are mild, with a good, lasting finish. For a "pub ale", quite good. Not the sort of brew that I’d write a sonnet upon. It tastes good, but not enough to divert your attention from the dartboard.
This exists solidly between their ESB and IPA. And that’s OK.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 15, 2004 Light amber/straw colour with a medium size head. Little spice and maybe some malt on the nose. No real or big flavours coming through but for its style this beer is quite good. Nice light bitterness mixes with a touch of honey and maybe a bit nutty. Long finish. Cheers! Kinz (2213), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 4, 2007 Can. Medium orange, little head. Aroma faintly of caramel and some slight resin and floral notes. Flavor matches, with a nicely balanced bittering finish. Not bad, better than I recalled, with a nicer hop flavor. whaleman (2171), North Wales, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 17, 2003 Updated: Jan 10, 2005Clear copper color and medium white head that mostly diminished but left decent lacing behind. Smell of burnt butter, sweet malt, and woody hops. Flavors of fruit and nuts framed on a buttery English malt background and a dry finish. A classic beer.
