Aug 7, 2006 OHanlons Royal Oak.
Pint bottle.
Unknown bottling, best before date of 02/05, gustated 08/06.
Medium Pour in an English Pint Glass.
Poured a hazy brownish amber with a thick fluffy offwhite 1 inch head. Slowly diminishing 1/8 inch head remained, with excellent lacing.
Smelt of molasses and a hint of candied cherries and cognac.
Taste begins with dry smokiness and toffee malt, with a quick hop kick. Then an unpleasant sourness peeks in for a fraction of a second to let place to a body of molasses sweetness and fermented dark berries, as it all dies down slowly in a earthy well balanced malty and biting hoppy finish. Mouthfeel was light and lively carbonation.
Overall, a pleasing bottle conditioned slightly aged English Pale Ale that barely survived 6 months past the freshness date, as indicated by the slight sourness, but taste was otherwise well rounded. Will be revisited with a fresher bottle.

Jul 18, 2006 Hazy reddish amber with some sediment. Large off-white head. Subtle and intriguing aroma: spicy and sweet with some fruit, perhaps melon or gooseberry. Taste malty but a delightful fresh raspberry sourness as well. Plenty of bitterness makes this an outstanding bottle-conditioned English ale.

Jun 5, 2006 The aroma has caramel, wood, and herbal hops. The appearance is red/brown with a large off white head. The flavor is bitter with sweet toasted malt and has hints of apricot and peach. The palate is on the light side. This is a beer I could drink all day long.
