| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 7, 2006 Pours a hazy golden/orange with a creamy, off-white head that fades rather quickly to a thick skin. Aroma starts sharp with Fuggles (almost metallic) and warms to muffiny malts. Light strains of vitamins in the nose. Flavor finds a healthy balance between malt and hop within a thick base. Hearty and flavorful with notes of tea and caramel before a finish of bitter yet sour hops. Savory palate, finishing dry. Pour me another.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 20, 2006 LIght toffee aroma. Definitely malt. Dark amber color with a white head that mostly disipates. Starts malty, followed by a temporary hint of sour, then rich fruit. Finishes with a dark fruit hoppiness - sorry, gotta tell it like I taste it. I wanted to say it tasted brown. A bit thin on mouthfeel, but overall a nice companion to Black Cat. ehhdayton (1113), USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 2, 2006 From a 500 ml. narrow neck brown bottle with a short blurb on the back label, no bottled/freshness date.
Made an decent appearance, poured a slightly hazy golden hued orange with a small foamy white head, minimal amount of sticking, medium carbonation.
Herbal and sour fruity nose with touchs of grains and a faint butteriness.
A malty crisp, smooth medium bodied mouth feel, above average drinkability.
Sour fruity and herbal hops, the biiterness is quick and fleeting, buttery in the middle and a dry grainy finish with a little herbalness lingering in the palate.
A decent English Pale Ale, but not something I would buy on a regular basis though.
