Man I enjoyed this brew. Tasted like England, if I have ever been there. Tasty. Good balance of hops and malt. Yeast in the bottom from a million years ago. It really did taste like a "real" ale. Good brew.

Jul 17, 2008 Nice amber pour with a long lasting foamy head. Started out promising enough with a nice, though somewhat light caramel malt and nutty aroma. First drink is slightly sweet and malty, but then a odd bitter rubbery taste takes over, which won’t go away. I’m going to assume this is due to the curse of the clear glass bottle, but this one became a drain pour. I couldn’t finish it.

Jul 8, 2008 Bottle.
Pours a beautiful amber with a nice frothy head. Aroma is coppery hops with a malt casing. Flavor is boring British malt with a hint of sleepy hops. Nothing spectacular; nothing I haven’t had from cheaper beers. Average mouthfeel. Probably pretty good from a legitimate cask; not so much from a regular bottle.

Jul 8, 2008 Bottled 50cl. It pours a amber coloured beer with a bubbly light beige head. The nose is of malt, caramel, grapefruit, hops, plums and wood. Earthy. Some crackers sneaking in. Malty taste. Medium bodied. Notes of grapefruit showing up accompanied by crackers and caramel. Milky. Earthy hops. Dry bitter finish with a hint of grapefruit.

Jul 1, 2008 Cloude deep amber, nice head, light notes of fruit, grains, malt, yeast, hops and melon. Mainly sweet and bitter in aftertaste.

Jul 1, 2008 500ml bottle. Leafy, herbal, earthy hop aroma, some light fruit and toasted malt notes as well. Translucent medium amber color with a lasting, fine, ivory head. Flavor is initially malty and sweet, dark and toasted, becoming hoppier with a mellow bitterness and lightly floral, citrus tones, turning sweeter again late into the finish, which also features hints of tobacco, nuts and tea leaves. Smooth, quenching mouthfeel, body is medium. This is very easy drinking stuff. Seems to be fresh and well taken care of before I got it, luckily.
