16.9oz bottle, best before 5.23.08. The Eldridge Pope Royal Oak was one of the first beers I truly enjoyed during my initial intro to craft beers, so it’s interesting to revisit this. Pours translucent orange amber, topped with a thin tan head. Sweet caramel aroma, with notes of fruit and nuts. Flavor is fairly sweet, with fruit, caramel, hazelnut, earth and mild citrus. Medium bodied and incredibly drinkable. Straightforward, drinkable and very refreshing. #800

Cloudy orange brown beer with a huge thick tan-coloured head. Prominent hop aroma, with earthy and spicy notes. Faint citrus in there as well. Nice balanced flavour, slightly herbal and yeasty with some dry fruity esters in here as well. Finish is dominated by spicy hops. As the beer comes up in temperature fruitiness becomes much more pronounced in the nose. A nice rounded brew.

Bottle as picture. Poured into a half pinter. First beer I’ve had that blew out straight head. nO liquid to be had and spilled over. jaysus its a gusher when added to the glass. That happened again and again with each new pour. Head is massive Frothy and creme thick like. Amber clad colour. Well balance look with yeasties coming through at the end. Sweet floral nose with mild warm fruits. Taste is slight bitter malt, dry, floral and somewhat fruity...not juicy fruity, but decent, enjoyable fruity. Very well balance and enjoyable. I could sit down for 6 of these if they werent so damned expensive.

Bottle: some malty sweetness, pretty fruity and juicy, some honey, caramel and grapes, some weak yeasty sourness notes, and a good dose of hoppy sharp bitterness, long dry and bitter finish, needs a bit more body but nevertheless another good beer from o’hanlons.

bottle. Copper colour, impressive and very persistent head. Lovelly aroma of wild berries. Fruity and malty flavours, hints of orange. Well-rounded with flowery hops. Long-lasting bitter-sweet aftertaste, again with hints of orange.

Pours an amber colour with a big tan coloured head. Aroma is sweet and light. Caramel, dandelion, spices, and citrus. Flavor is as refined as a good businessman from London. Caramel and brown sugar take the start with soft fruits and dandelion coming in behind it, a nice hint of citrus goes the whole way through and a spicy finish quenches and makes you want more. Soft effervecent mouthfeel. Excellent bitter!
