| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 25, 2009 55cl bottle. Clear amber with a fizzy head. Caramel, toasty malty and minerally, earthy aroma. Light caramel, earthy hops and a medium-bitter finish with light lingering sweetness. Light fruity esters but pretty clean and light mineral flavors. Medium bodied with medium-light carbonation. Pretty nice malt character with a somewhat anonymous hop bitterness. I know its just a facsimile of a proper premium bitter (or english pale ale?) but it is still somewhat pleasant.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 19, 2009 Nutty, caramelly, malty and pretty soft pale ale with not much bitterness. Easy to drink, easy to forget. Nesta13 (202), Australia
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 15, 2009 Pretty good English pale ale. Nothing outstanding but a good example of the style. donovan1983 (54), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 15, 2009 Dark amber with a quickly disappearing off-white head. In appearance, a "pale ale" it is far from. Malty, sweet aroma with some grassy hops. Bready, sweet malt flavour with a bit of hops to balance it out. Somewhat short, sweet finish with a slight sweet aftertaste and slight hop flavourings lingering. Medium body and well carbonated. A good, pleasant bitter that’s enjoyable to drink. curly (648), Nashville, Tennessee, USA

Mostly sweet malt taste with a hop finish and some roast characters. Pretty well balanced, has a very slight sour mash taste as well. dwaggs2 (560), Lee’s Summit, Missouri, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 5, 2009 Bottle. Poured a large, rocky-frothy, tan head with a clear, copper body. Malty aroma of caramel and some floral, herby, earthy hops. Flavor was of caramel with some dark (raisin/prune) fruit and moderate hop bitterness. Fairly light body with lively carbonation for the style. Overall a very sessionable British pale ale that I could drink daily. Excellent. shawnm213 (954), South Bend, Indiana, USA
