very good english beer. one of the best i have had. not too dark or too light. very good mixture

A mellow amber with typical attributes. Nothing significant to report other than it tastes much better in the bomber. This is actually the amber that got me started on darker style brews. I’ll always have a place in my heart for those J.C. bombers.

Clear orange red color. Hoppy with a heavy alcohol taste with a tangy quality that fades to sour.

It was amber in color with a small head. It had a sour flavor with nice lacing. I did not care to much for this beer.

Botttle-Bad time to rate as I had a Fuller just a few days before. The color was amber with a smallish head. Some hop taste and aroma, but not much. The aroma was a little, perhaps a stale smell. Not much taste, not much aroma, not much of a beer.

Pours a light amber. Conglomerate head with some lacing. Sour aroma. Crisp with a dry, lingering finish.

poured a clear gold with minimal head but decent lacing. aroma was grainy, nothing special. taste was quick, some malt but most the "dryness" is what stuck in my head. not bad but would not get again.

Had this on tap at the Captain Daniel Packer Inne in Mystic, CT. Not a very impressive beer. Lacked in flavor... and other beer things. Restaurant was great though. I had the pork loin. Don’t recommend the ale.
