Dec 24, 2008 12 oz bottle, pours a light brown-copper color. No head. Aroma was very faint at first with hints of sweet roastiness, but later on it became more floral and hoppy. Taste was bitter with a bit of sweetness. Palate was average but the flavor was very full. Not a bad ale and more complex than i expected.

Dec 23, 2008 Bottle 55 cl. Pours a clear orange with a very small white head and spicey, mild sweetness. The taste is sweet, malty, with hints of caramel, brown sugar, plum, blue grapes and cream. The finish is pretty spicey, with some hoppy bitterness. I liked this one.

Dec 23, 2008 Pours a clear orange amber with a few larger soda bubbles and a large thick foamy off-white head. Smells like a typical English ale, some lightly toasted sweeter malts, lightly bready, touch of butter and yeast, hint of fruit, and that faint sammy smith musty sourness. First taste is quite sweet, took me by surprise, sweet biscuity malts, sugary toffee, lightly fruity, a bit of butter, finishing with a crisp grassy hop bite and lingering buttery toffee. Medium full mouthful, very smooth and thick but not at all syrupy, with sparse but sharp carbonation, appropriate for the style.

Dec 22, 2008 Poured amber-orange with a generous one to two finger bright white head. Solid film stayed atop the beer and the lacing was nice. Toasted malts were the most obvious aroma, also some soft, herbal hops. Flavors were pure English Ale, malty with a touvh of caramel up front, followed with a gentle hops bitterness that created perfect balance. Soft mouthfeel, well carbonated, and a nice dry finish.

Dec 20, 2008 Updated: Dec 25, 2008This is a pleasant English ale. Aroma and flavor are both kind of mineral-like, standard sam smiths yorkshire stones I guess. pours a light copper color, thin white head. Slightly bitter finish. Only thing really is that it seems a bit thin for the flavor profile. But still a nice beer.

Dec 20, 2008 Updated: Dec 21, 2008Bottle... Poured clear orange with an off-white head. Aroma consisted of floral spices, dewy hops and malt. A little too much carbonation on the palate. Usual English session ale flavors, but a little bit more of a kick with the hops and bitter alcohol flavors, and some plum-like flavors in the finish.
