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.

Oct 2, 2002 On cask: Cloudy copper color. No head although a big head isn’t really expected from a cask beer. Light malt, yeasty aroma with very faint hops. Light aroma of green apples. Very smooth flavor. Malty with very faint caramel flavor. Mild bitterness. Medium body. Lightly creamy. Very drinkable. Tasty, well-balanced bitter.

Jul 16, 2004 Dark red hue, hoppy flavor, mild nose with dark fruit and some nuts. Decent beer, not a regular bitter but still good. Fresh hops abound.

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.

Sep 25, 2002 Too watery tasting. Good finish but missing a strong flavor. Easy on the palette but not exactly striking either.

Jul 16, 2009 Draught at the brewpub. Copper color with a lacy white head. Crackery malt, caramel, and spicy hops in the aroma. The malt is toasty and nutty with some cracker, topped with some spicy and lightly bitter hops. The finish is dry and the body is light. Feels like an American brewed it, but nice English hop and malt flavors.

Jun 15, 2004 Cask @ Real Ale Fest
The beer pulls from the cask a clear burnished copper color with a generous head that is spumous in texture and a light tan color, the lace a concealing sheet. Nose was malt sweet, fresh and clean to the olfactory senses; start was malt sweet with the top middling in feel. Finish was medium in carbonation, the hops pleasant and delectable, I thought this the best Bitter of the weekend, dry aftertaste a real pleasant and pleasing surprise, I had a couple of these one a double pour.
