Appearance--Clear with a reddish-brown hue; Has a gray-white head that leaves an excellent lace. Smell--First impression is a metalic aroma; both the hop and malt is relatively light Taste--The malt offers a sweetish malt that is well balanced by the hop. This beer (on tap) was also carbonated more than expected. The finish is surprising dry. Unfortunately, the finish is also surprising short. After all is said and done, this beer is flavorful and very drinkable. I think it would improve if it were slightly fuller in body and more complex in flavor.

This one poured a dark copper with a short lived light head. Nice toasty biscuity malt starts and is gracefully met with robust English style hop taste. Decpetively easy to drink and sessionable.

Pours a transparent copper amber with a small stringy lacing white head. Nice aroma of sweet toasty caramel malt and a touch of English hops. Starts with decent fullness and some toasty sweet caramel and grainy malty notes along with some mild earthy bittering hops before a crisp bittersweet finish. Quite drinkable and true to style.

Pours a rich honey-red color with a creamy tan off-white head. Nose full of hops, alcohol, and fruit. Thin flavor but notes of yeast, hops, slightly sour fruits, and alcohol. Decent beer.

Pours a nice dark amber with plenty of off white head its a smooth brew with not much flavor .... it has the initial sweet with a very very slight hop aftertaste like a good irish ale but its kinda watery ... not a good brew at all if your looking for flavor ... buy something else for $9.50 a six pack

Amber with a thin off white head. Aroma was honey and cereal. Flavor was the same with a pine aftertaste.

Clear amber body with an off-white head. Smells of ripe fruit and caramel. Flavor is the same with a note of bread. Smooth finish.
