Jan 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with a whitish head. Aroma of caramel with a hit of citrusy hops. Strong carbonation at first. Flavour is sweet malt with a bit of honey and fruity hop finish. Average palate. As with the cask version, decent enough, but not a first choice for me.

Jan 7, 2008 Big can without the nitro. Amber orange color and slight head that dissipates in a flash. Whiskey, carmel, and vinegar nose. Fruity with strong alcohol taste. Flat and thin. Nasty alcohol finish. Perhaps the four pack I bought was old.

Jan 5, 2008 Amber color. Aroma is exactly what you would think from the style. Sweet malt with a hint of vegetable. On first swig this could be mistaken as a Bass. Tastes like just about any other ESB or bitter out of the UK. I have a craving for a bitter every now and then and if this was cheaper than Bass it would be bought.

Jan 4, 2008 17 oz can surprizingly without a widget. Slightly darker than a yellow pale ale. More like the color of light iced tea. Sweetish strong ale aroma. At first taste, pretty strong, much more than the alky percent would indicate. After it swishes on the palate, it becomes a little more mild. and mellows a little. Barely any carbonation ,if any. I probably would not buy this again tho I thought it to be better than expected.

Jan 1, 2008 can. Body is the color of new motor oil with a small light head. Aroma is very nice and consists of dark fruit and malt. Body is light to medium and very little carbonation is present. Flavor is pleasantly fruity and floral with a hint of hop. Nitrogen can be detected. Bitterness is less than expected. While not very lively, this is a flavorful and aromatic offering and one of the better bitters I have sampled.
