Captures the soul of beer. It has a maltiness that reminds you that beer is a product of the soil. Balance of malt and hops.

Bottle. Pours a very nice dark amber. Head is a thick white, but went down quick. Aroma is a bit of malt, but somewhat odd. Taste is more malt than I thought. Not bad, had a bit of an off taste I coundn’t place.

Pours a deep amber color with a puffy tan head leaves some lacing as it disappears. Nose is almost like sweet brown ales, no detectable hops. Medium bodied ale with a taste like sweet brown malt and only a small hop finish. A very good beer, but so much different from what I’ve come to expect when I see Pale Ale.

Bottle. Pours amber with an eggshell head that leaves some lacing. Aroma is earthy, malty, and hops. Flavor is pete and earth kind of like a scotch mixed with malt and hops. It’s well rounded in flavor and smooth on the tongue. I can say that the quality of the beer never disappoints, I can always enjoy one.

pours dark, slightly hazy amber, medium tan head, some lacing. i caught floral alcohol and earth in the nose. my first impression of the taste was mud, but as it warmed, i caught creamy caramel and malt. the palate is creamy smooth, with a slightly bitter finish. although i say this about most of the beers i drink, "the more i drank this, the more i enjoyed it". that kicked my overall rating up another notch. so there!

This has been one of my favorites for some time. It is a fairly basic beer, but to me it typifies English beer. Very earthy beer. Mellow malts, with English hops that reside just under the surface of the malt. Pours amber with a frothy white head. good lacing. Not terribly adventurous but a great beer every time.

Sheeeesh, why with the clear glass bottles? Pours a light amber, very clear like stained glass. Aroma was smelled of a typical ESB, caramel and a bit of lightly roasted malt. Flavour was sweet caramel, lightly hopped. Drinkable, however, forgettable.
