Copper body with a thin creamy head and some visible carbonation. Some fruitinessin the nose, with notes of apple and plum. The taste is somewhat floral, with the same fruit notes, some caramel and biscuit-like notes. Smooth body, with a bit of crisp carbonation. Good drinkability. Overall, this is a well-balanced and flavourful English pale ale. I’ll definitely drink this again.

500ml bottle. Pours a deep coppery orange with a dense and creamy ivory head. The aroma is malty, bready, light fruit, caramel and vanilla. The flavor is fruity upfront, revealing caramel and some buttery notes through the middle, and finishing nutty with some light bitterness. It has a smooth mouthfeel, and is an easy drinker.

Can, 2009-09-17 AR: hops, hunny, pear AP: copper coloured body, wee bubbly foamhead, fully lasting F: bitternes, hunny, pear, some carbornation, the ale is not what you expexted by the aroma. This sadly a poor product. I excpect that bottle and even more draft must be better (you hope).

It poured a dark golden liquid with a medium sized dirty white foam that left a little bit of lacing. It had a smell and taste of malt, caramell, some grassy hops and something sweet. The mouthfeel was a bit stingy, specially at the back of my mouth. It also had an alcohlic finish, not to strong though. I’m not sure what it is but I didn’t really enjoy this beer that much.

Clear dark golden color. Aroma is mostly of malts, with some caramel and slight hops in the undertones. Taste has sweeter malts with some hops. This has that typical hard watered english ale flavor. Leaves a little bit of a bite in the end. Nothing too impressive.
