| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 23, 2007 12 oz. clear glass embossed bottle, no freshness date, sampled in a pint glass.
Poured a clear reddish, amber orange, small foamy slightly off-white head that settled into a thin sudsy lacing, minimal amount of sticking.
Pleasant aromas of oranges, nutty wood, toasted sweet malts and flowery herbs.
Moderate carbonation, medium bodied, softly crisp with an light dryness, pleasant English ale taste, nutty, sweet toasted grains and lightly roasted malts, subtle orange fruitiness that turns herbal and woody towards the end, nice smooth hoppiness, touch of tannic leather in the finish, easy quaffability, a good ale to spend a night with.
I would really like to try this from the cask, I bet it’s delicious.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Aug 11, 2007 Wow does this look like rust! Smooth on palate, mild flavor, somewhat creamy. Little hoppy, but not much else for the import price. kingfiogojr (78), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 7, 2007 Nice little brew. Creamy texture, good flavor. Enough hop, but not overpowering like American and India Pale. It’s just fine. Slightly overpriced. wcampbell (584), Central, South Carolina, USA

Poured copper in colour with white head, hoppier aroma than I anticipated, taste was pleasantly malty bitterness was also ok, not bad. conor23 (110), Elgin, Illinois, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 20, 2007 Updated: Jun 21, 2007Picked up a bottle at Total Wine, Cherry Hill for about two bucks. Green, floral hop aroma, clear copper body and slight foam. Toffee, caramel flavors with malt edging out the bitterness. Nicely done bitter, I like the bottle design as well. I’ll re-use the bottle for homebrewing. bhensonb (4384), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 4, 2007 That great floral aroma so common to Morland ales. Takes me back across the pond. Nice light amber color, and a hardly present white head. Looks just like an English pump. Starts just a bit malty sweet, the floral hop can’t quite balance the malt, but hey, it’s English. It doesn’t have to balance. There is enough bitter in the finish to make it wonderful. Absolutely.
