Apr 21, 2008 From 12 oz bottle from Corti Bros in Sacramento that cost $1.49. Poured light brown with a fat white head and good lacing. Nose of caramel malts, fruti, and citrus hops. Smooth mouthfeel. Nice flavors of light malts and hops, and a medium bitter finish. Very easy to drink. Nice beer.

Nov 24, 2007 Bottle labeled "Best Bitter Ale" from Corti Bros., Sacramento. The aroma is so roasted it smacks of coffee! Hazy tea/amber color with a white head that barely arrived. Very smooth, medium body with light, creamy carbonation. Some stone fruit comes forth, and the roasted malt is right there. Must be bitter floral hop or something, because there is a lot of bitter, but no citrus or resin. It certainly fits an English bitter style, but it is different. A bit harsher in the finish, perhaps. Good ale.

Aug 4, 2006 Bottle: Called English Amber Ale: Golden brown, puffy creamy head, lots of carbonation. Nose of light metal, acidic hops and light caramel. The flavor is nutty and toffee, lots of bitter hops, stubtle roast. The finish is toasty, a lightly jammy fruity tail. Eh, nothing.

Jan 11, 2006 Amber ale with an off white head. Sweet malty aroma, restrained hops. Sweet malt in mouth, lots of butterscotch, oily buttery mouthfeel, unpleasant. On tap at brewery, August 2005.

Sep 7, 2005 On tap at Jack Russell. This light amber beer poured with a large white head, eliciting a sweet hoppy aroma. The flavor was thin (but not as thin as most British bitters) and left a slightly bitter sensation on the tongue, as a bitter should. Not bad for this style, which is not my favorite by far.
