Jul 30, 2004 Bottled. Clouded amber colour with a lacy white head. Sweet red English rose aroma, perhaps with some faint hopes in the background. Sweet floral flavour. The bitterness is forward and dies away quickly which is not endearing at all. Despite the enticing description on the label the beer doesn’t measure up for my mind.

Jan 1, 2008 0.5 l bottle. Slightly hazy dark amber color with small head. Sweet and sour aroma with flowery and fruity hops as well as wild yeast. Sour, bitter, fruity, biscuity and berryish flavor with horsey notes of brettanomyces wild yeast. The wild yeast character might not be intentional but fits fairly well to this beer.

Sep 11, 2006 Royal Oak Pale Ale, brewed in Devon, full of legends and Parliaments, and kings, Cromwell’s Roundheads, grilled meat and cheeseboard.
Opaque, dark amber hue, maybe maroon?, highly carbonated, with a big fizzy head that drizzles down quick.
Big cherry aroma, rich and malty, nice hops, rather mild, though. Sweet and serene. Nice.
Remains sweet and tasty on the tongue. Decent hops, not too large, but a neat, if mild little firedance in the mouth. Continues bitter and sweet throughout. Cherry flavor dominates.
Nice, but... Not one I’ll return to, unless I get filthy rich sometime soon. Quite different from other british pale ales, perhaps overly carbonated, a little too much for my taste. Just not loving it. MEh.

Oct 30, 2005 Hazy medium orange, head way too big no matter what I tried when pouring. Aroma was bread and some moldy floral hops. Flavor was bread, anise hops, almost seedy somehow. As it warmed, a bit of caramel arrived. Did not care for the hop profile of this at all.

Aug 23, 2004 Slightly friuty with a bitter edge. The bottle I bought was exrtremly expensive pointing to a premium product, which it isn’t.Still nice to see it back on the shelves.

Jan 21, 2007 Bottle. Pours a darkish copper body with a small white bubbly head. The aroma consists of toasted caramel and light tangerine and oranges. Clean breadiness with fruit tartness. Reasonably attenuated with some cereal substance. Average.
Tasted at Smokeless Joe in Toronto on January 19, 2007.
