Oct 23, 2005 Pours amber, with a large white head that leaves thick lacing. Weak aroma. Some biscuity malts and grassy hops. Faint diacetyl. Very strange start to the flavor—diacetyl and, if you can believe it, phenols. Not very good until the hops come in at the end, giving the beer a pleasant, lightly bitter finish. Not much going on, and most of what is, ain’t supposed to be.

Jun 26, 2005 Draught @ Old Dominion Beer Festival 2005: Clear see-through amber with a small white head that quickly dies. Aroma is mild and inoffensive, but there just not much to smell. I can get a hint of earthy/grassy hops and a bit of sweet caramel malt if I just about stick my nose into the beer. Taste is earthy mildly sweet malt with faint hops hidden in there. Light bodied, highly carbonated, crisp.

Jun 26, 2005 Draft at Old Dominion Beer Festival 2005... Sparkling clear amber ale with a small, fizzy, white head. The aroma and flavor are well-balanced and unoffensive, but there’s not much going on. Light to medium-bodied and watery with lively carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish.

Apr 17, 2005 Updated: May 2, 2005My favorite quality about Old Nick was the appearance, reddish body and a thick foamy white head. Other than the appearance this was an average pale ale.

Jul 13, 2004 Pours a bronze body with a small white head. Aroma is sweetned malts blended with toffee and hops. The taste is nicely hopped with some pleasant malt sweetness to balance it out. Pretty much a standard English Pale Ale but is nicely done. Mouthfeel is relatively smooth. The finish is slightly bitter due to the hop character. Pretty decent beer.
