Cloudy amber color, frothy beige head, with some flaky sediment swirling, the nose has a fruity note of old apples, with caramelized malt, toasted grains, brown sugar, flowery hops accent in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a fruity floral hops character, crystal malt, leading towards a faint hop bitterness impression in the finish.

Robe rousse aux reflets cuivrés surmontée d’une mousse blanche épaisse en dentelle qui persiste. Arômes légers de caramel et de métal. Saveurs de bois, de houblon amérisant, de vanille et de caramel. Aqueuse.

From a 1pt. 9oz. short narrow neck brown bottle with a blurb and history lesson, along with serving and pouring instructions, on the back of label and I too, have a best before date of 02.28.05, but the pale ale held up well. Made a good appearance, the cap popped when I opened it, poured an hazy orange and gold hued copper with a large billowing foamy head that slowly settled into a thin rocky, foamy lacing, good carbonation. Had a big, sweet berry fruity and earthy nose with a little dry yeast and molasses in the background. A crisp, carbonated textured, smooth light bodied mouth feel, good drinkability. Nice berry fruity, with a subtle banana, taste, a buttery, syrupy molasses maltiness, a dry earthy hop bitterness, a balanced bitterness with the sweet malts, and a dry earthy and malty finish, well done. I really enjoyed this English Pale Ale, balanced and tasty. When I saw the best before date, I was expecting the worst, but this ale held up well, recommended for anyone liking pale ales and ESB’s, English or American. In Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide, this listed as a pale ale.

Royal Oak Traditional Bitter, 500ml bottle brought home from St Albans Beer Festival, Sept.05. Bottle conditioned (bb. 28.04.06). Deep amber with slowly fading beige head that left nice lacing on the glass. Rich malty and floral aromas. Fruity and malty body with a touch of caramel and yeast. Medium bitter ending.

Pours amber honey with a huge white froth that slowly dissipates into fragments. Just enough residual effers to keep it from going flat. Nose is dry hops without the citrus but with some celery and cuccumber. A little barn-yardish. Medium nectar. Slightly bitter and very dry with a woodsy tropshire. Also on the list is tobacco, malt, green citrus rind, and celery. Finish is dry and bitter.
