Jul 13, 2009 Clear amber-orange with a fluffy orange-white head. The clear bottle gave it a bit of skunk, but caramel, grassy, notes are there. Taste is simple, caramel malt, some fruity esters, a finish of grass bittering.

Jul 2, 2009 Enjoyed from a 550ml bottle in a pub glass. The beer pours a deep copper with no head. The aroma seems to rely heavily on the yeast’s esters. I got pear, apple, and perhaps a little bit of tart cherry. At the same time, the malt is also prevalent; throwing aromas of caramel, toffee, and figs. The flavor is full on the palate, bringing a lot in the way of malty sweetness and fruit. The hops are essentially non-existent, other than potentially playing the role of keeping the malt in relative check. The finish is sweet, which may be the worst aspect of this bee (and its a mild negative, at that). Overall, a vastly underrated and well-crafted English Pale.

Jun 24, 2009 Smell is a bit overbearingly skunky. Not too impressed by that. Medium-bodied, but still tastes a little to skunky, nutty, and rotten for my liking.

Jun 18, 2009 Can. Deep amber colour with creamy white head. Fruity (apples) and slightly sulphury aroma. Grainy and caramelly malt. Spicy and earthy hops, maybe Styrian or Fuggles. Slightly sweet aroma of fudge and roasted grains.
Medium big body with minerally salty and slightly metallic taste. Grainy and toasted malt. Earthy hops balances. Very British.

Jun 13, 2009 50cl bottle from Systembolaget. It poured a golden orange colour with a big white foamy head that settled down fast in the glass. The aroma is a bit bitter with notes of yeast, malts, honey grass. Some hops. The flavour is both sweet and bitter at the same time. Notes of malts, some hops and spices. It has a lingering, bitter aftertaste.

Jun 13, 2009 Can. The aroma is fruity-malty, light hoppy and light bitter. The head is very small, white and creamy-milky with normal duration. The body is red and lively. The taste is a little bit malty, then it gets bitter and light metallic, also some hops are present. The finish is bitter and long. The Ale has not much carbonation, it is dry and medium strong.
