| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 13, 2005 Bottled, filtered, 500ml. Copper coloured beer with lasting head. Easy smooth beer, initially silky but with a decent enough bitterness on the finish. The malt dominates though with a little smokey note in the body. Reasonable bottled beer. Many thanks to JT for this. harrisoni (6800), Ashford, Kent, England

Reddish-copper color, small tanned head, nice "creamy" lacing. Aroma has red currant, barley and hints of smoke. Quite ok for this low ABV: medium-bodied, woody flavor with fruity bitter hops - they linger in the aftertaste nicely. scotty (832), Scotland
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 18, 2005 Picked this up in Safeway( soon to be Morrisons) in Hawick...Raven Ale...doesn’t that suggest a big brooding very dark stout or old ale...WRONG! This is a lovely bright gold/copper colour with a good firm white head. A mouthwatering fresh fruity hop nose with sweet malt lurking in the background. Good mouthfeel, smooth with LOTS of hoppy fruit, that sweet malt creeps in on the long lasting finish...loved it! Good strength for a few bottles, who cares about the name? Can’t understand the poor overall rating, but there you go, we can’t all have the same opinion, can we? Papsoe (14996), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 17, 2005 Updated: Jul 3, 2005(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful fully golden - almost bronze. Not much head though. Very aromatic from the hops with a pronounced bitterness. Another fine example of a low alcohol beer with lots of flavour. 161004
