Dec 14, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy murky orange brune with a white head. Bitter soapy metallic notes. Hints of appleish bittering notes, nickle and tine. Puddy accents and dirty money. Copper bitterness, did i say metal? Some dingy malt and a light appleish moth tone. Yup drain pour, okay time for a 10% stout to make up for the shortcomings here.

Dec 7, 2009 I’m sure this beer is better fresh from a cask in the shadow of the brewery because this imported bottled version is fairly mediocre. It’s a pale gold topped by a small amount of white bubbles. The aroma is biscuity with a good dose of floral/grapefruit rind hops. It is interesting how reminiscent the Fuggles and Goldings are of the American "C" hops. The flavor is just a bit too bitter for the thin body of the beer. Ultimately, it’s an uninteresting experience that has undoubtedly lost something in its travels. A disappointment but probably only in their choice to export without being able to preserve its proper character.

Nov 14, 2009 9th June 2008. 8 months past BBE date. A bland tepid watery bitter. A little frothy creamyness and not much else to note. Boring.

Oct 28, 2009 Pours a cloudy golden colour, nice frothy head which leaves lots of lacing all the way down the glass. Grassy aroma on the nose carried over and mixed with hoppy aroma in the mouth

Aug 9, 2009 Cask. A clear golden bitter with a decent white head providing good lacing. Nose of cereal malts and restrained floral/citric English hops. Taste is restrained sweet malts finishing with a fruity dry hop bitterness that became slightly peppery towards the end. Light-medium bodied with slick mouthfeel. Easily sessionable like all good English bitters. Decent.
