| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jan 30, 2009 THOUGHTS: Not so hot. It was definitely not very British. A lot of west coast hops in the aroma and some i the flavor too. This doesn’t really say winter to me either.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a dark brownish amber with a small, off-white head that mostly diminished and left fair to good lacing. The aroma was light grain, cereal and caramel malt, and moderate pine and orange citrus hops. The flavor started a little sweet and a little bitter, and finished a little more bitter with an average to long duration with an average to long duration. There was caramel malt with a hint of chocolate and orangey hops. The medium body was slightly syrupy with fizzy carbonation and a metallic almost soapy finish. 6ROW (275), corpus christi, Texas, USA
