Dark amber colour, low white head. Sweetish malt aroma with subtle scent, yet with some reminiscense of raspberry gel. Light malty with early bitterness, but in big low on the hops. Fruity, estery backbone with a touch of earthiness. Suffers from phenols, in this case band-aid. gnoff (3574), Göteborg, Sweden

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Mar 4, 2009 THOUGHTS: Fairly British. And really nice one it warmed up a bit.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a slightly cloudy amber with an average, off-white head that mostly diminished and left fair lacing. The aroma was light roasted and nutty malts, earthy hops, light to moderate earthy yeast, citrus, some other fruitiness and tea. The initial flavor was acidic and lightly sweet; while the finish was sweet, acidic and a little bitter. There was caramel, cookie, citrus, earthiness, toasted malt an little fruit and tea. The light to medium body was watery then dry with tingly carbonation and a slightly metallic, lightly astringent and dry finish.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 2, 2009 12oz bottle. Multiple tastings. I used to love this beer but I think something must have changed in the recipe after they started widely distributing it. This rating is based on a later tasting. While it is still a very drinkable ale I did not find anything remarkable about it this time around.
