Nov 10, 2007 Tried the CASK version... Malty and sweet aroma. Looks copper with a thin head. Flavor is neutral with lots of caramel. Bitter finish. Not bad.

Jul 25, 2007 On tap at Magnolia brewpub in San Francisco. The chalkboard designates this as 4.9%. Slightly hazy orange amber with a thin cream pad. Aroma is faintly sweet toffee. Flavours are more interesting, with some beguiling fruit notes overlying the decent maltiness with an earthy quality as well. A nice representation of the style I thought.

Jun 28, 2007 Slightly hazy, deep amber. Smooth caramel, piney at the same time; a little metallic in the finish. Average American bitter. (on tap at brewpub)

Jun 21, 2007 (06.21.07) On tap at Magnolia Pub and Brewery, San Francisco, CA. 4.9% ABV. Hazy amber ale with small white head. No carbonation. Faint malt aroma. Medium bodied. Starts dry with light malt flavor; slight green tea/vegetal mushroom flavors; perfumy hop flavor. Medium length finish with light malt fade with light lingering hop bitterness. Good drinkable beer but on the watery side.

Apr 1, 2007 (On tap) Clear, warm, dark amber golden with the tiniest off-white head. Rather subdued, nutty aroma. Fairly light in body, lightly nutty flavours and then a somewhat odd, sweetish, candy-like edge - where did that come from? Finishes dry. 210307

Mar 24, 2007 Cask at the brewpub. Poured a clear reddish-orange color. Head was bubbly and white with good retention and lacing. Distinct aromas of malty caramel and graham cracker. Flavor was similar. Pretty good English style bitter.

Nov 4, 2006 Tried this on draft at the brewpub during a far too short visit on vacation. The brewer intentionally seeks to give the beer an ’English’ feel and succeeds magnificently. This was bitter, complex and refreshing and will be a ’must’ on my next trip.
