From a 22 oz bottle this poured a nice clear copper to amber color and produced a big foamy head teh left moderate lacing in the glass. The is a malty nose, with at touch of caramel, citrus and pine hops. Mouthfeel is very smooth with very little carbonation. Flavors are malts and hops, with a little citrus. Finish is slightly sour, which adds an interesting touch. A pale ales go, this is a pretty good one.

12oz bottle pours amber with a pretty nice fluffy white head that has the aromas of toffee, caramel, and slight orange. Flavor is toffee, caramel, orange, and a little grapefruit. Palate is light crisp and clean. Slightly sweet at the finish.

Bottle... Clear amber ale with a large, fluffy, white head. Excellent, tight retention. The soapy, biscuity nose offers notes of pale malts, biscuit and caramel. The flavor is of pale, biscuity malt and a nice, crisp, hop kick. A touch grainy with a mild note of butterscotch. Medium-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and intermediate carbonation. Mid-length, sticky-sweet finish.

Sampled in California suprisingly. Very nice and smooth beer. Aroma and appearance are just tame and kind of light. However the beer drinks really well and has a suprising flavor that is rich and lasting. A nice choice.

Bottle. Clear amble with a medium head. Very toffeeish and caramelly malt character, and notes of pine and citrus from the hops. A bit watery and thin. Bitter finish.

From a 22-ounce bottle. A deep amber color, very slight hoppy aroma, and fading white head. Even hop/malt flavor balance, mostly caramel flavor and non-assertive hop bitterness. Well carbonated. Clean finish. Average.

Has a pretty good smell. A very thin pale ale, part of why I don’t like the English version too much. The flavor is pretty weak and a little metallic. Not so good.

Caramel, butterscotch, citrus and pine greet the nose. Clear golden body topped by a low white head that recedes to cover. Flavour is as aroma suggests with fair bitterness and some light esters. Not very exciting but not bad. Medium light body with moderate carbonation. Pretty middle of the road but drinkable. Sampled at Mondial 2006.
