| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 18, 2009 Mmmm lovely session. The nose is malty with english hops proding through. Looks a treat - lovely amber. In the mouth it is full bodied and shows it’s pedigree. Very british and very good. hawthorne00 (147), Australia
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 18, 2009 500ml bottle. Copper with small cream head. Citrus and biscuit aromas. Fruity with hop bitterness. Enough malt in the background to balance. Creamy mouthfeel, but slightly excessive bubbles. I’d call this a pale ale rather than a bitter, for what it’s worth. This is the closest to real English beer I’ve had from a bottle. mkel07 (553), Brisbane, Australia
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 14, 2009 500ml bottle. Copper mahoganeycolour with a full creamy light tan head. Looks like a classic English bitter with a full flavour and strong finsih. Aroma of dried grapes with a medium bitterness. danielst (157), Vienna, Austria
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 14, 2009 50cl bottle into pint glass: Copper-orange colour with an off-white head that leaves a small protective layer on top of the beer. The aroma is mostly citric and minerally with vague notes of caramel/toffee and esters. The flavours are evenly balanced - cookie-like maltiness and crisply bitter, tobacco-leafy hops. Very nice mouthfeel - light and drinkable but not watery, slightly creamy. Delicious and sooo sessionable, I could easily drink it everday and this wasn’t even very fresh! andreic (53), Ireland
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Bottle. Golden, clear. Just off white head. Nice lacing down the glass. Aroma slightly malty, woody, clean. Tastes malty, spicy and very bitter. A nice, tasty ale. Davros (248), Australia
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 24, 2009 Pours a deep amber with an amazingly persistent thick head.
Aroma is restrained, with sweet caramel malt, light fruity notes, a hint of honey and somewhat grassy hops.
Similar flavours with more caramel and grassy notes, some toffee and a mild bitterness.
Low carbonation and body, very drinkable. bluebetty (139), Australia
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours a nice amber with small white head. Aromas are fairly restrained but there is certainly some malt sweetness, honey, hop aromas and a llittle fruity. Plenty of malt sweetness on the palate balanced nicely by hop bitterness. Mouthfeel id spot on. Great beer. joe19612 (702), camberley, Surrey, England
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours a light amber colour with a medium size head. Plenty of hops and hint of toffee in the aroma. The taste is malt and plenty of fruit which leads to a
soft dry finish.
