| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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. MI2CA (1266), Noblesville, Indiana, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 3, 2006 500ml - Best Before 022805 (Secret Santa cousin Rich) - Aroma is floral hops, citrus, and carmel malt. Pours copper with a huge head and great lacing. Flavor is a bit bland, more malt than hops, but the hops are still there. Palate is flat and watery. This one was still drinkable but I wonder what a freshy would score... Schultsc (486), Henderson, Nevada, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | 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. cgarvieuk (4220), Edinburgh, Scotland

Malty aroma with some hops, some nuts, mild fruitiness, and light toastiness. Sweetish malty flavor, a bit of caramel, a bit of biscuits and slightly bitter finish. Rounded and medium-bodied. Not bad. lithy (1845), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA

A nice fruity caramel aroma, citrus orange and an woodiness. Taste if unfortunately thinner, light caramel, a nuttiness, and more grapefruit fruity hops.
