12 oz into shaker. Nice amber color with a very minimal head and no visible carbonation. The aroma is kind of weak but pretty good - caramel malt and faint bittering hops. The flavor is also pretty weak, and I didn’t like it much till the last half of the glass when I started picking up some more subtle flavors - cherries and sweet candy sugar, almost like a Belgian; aside from these subtle, hard to find notes, there is only a kind of funky malt and grass bittering hops flavor. No signs of alcohol though. It is light bodied on the palate with no carbonation and a pretty watery texture. Overall: this beer was fine, nothing special though. Sessionable.

Sep 25, 2008 $1.79 11.2 oz. bottle from Total Wine in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a clear, rich ambery body with a full, frothy, white hear.
Smell: Sweet-smelling, nutty aroma of toffee-coated toasted biscuits with a background note of fruit.
Taste: Sweet, biscuit maltiness with a rising taste of dark, toasted toffee. Slight nuttiness. Pleasant cherry fruitiness perks up midway. Maybe a drop of vanilla. Subtly spicy, lightly earthy bitterness with a mild, mildly cleansing bitterness. Faint drying grassiness near the end. Still, the brew finishes on the sweet side.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A fairly tasty, easy-drinking English treat. Sure, it’s something to have pride in and sure, I’d have another (or four)!
