| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 3, 2007 A nice dark amber color with a thin white lacing. The smell is hops, hops, hops, but unfortunately not much else. Flavor is plentiful, but I think normal for this style. Finish was smooth with a hint of bitter. In short, a completley one dimensional beer. But it is exactly as described, ’A fine, heartwarming English Ale’. Cheers. bitbucket (2031), Kirkland, Washington, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Mar 1, 2007 Bottle from Malt of the Earth beer club. Pours a clear coppery amber with an off-white head. Spicy aroma with some sweet malt behind it. Medium body with fine carbonation. The alcohol comes to the fore, in a fusil, malt-liquor-like attack. The taste is sweet and has some fruit, citrus and nutty notes. Spicy and somewhat dry finish. The bitterness shows up in the aftertaste. rmussman (905), California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 1, 2007 A very nice beer. Had with fish and chips in London on vacation and enjoyed. A very nice appearance and head was just the introduction to a nice full bodied beer. A must when you visit London. kenb (1100), Oregon, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Feb 28, 2007 12 oz bottle via Malt of the Earth Beer club. This one pours a dark semi hazy orange/brown with a large beige head. Nose is a spicey hoppiness with some lemon notes. Tastes like too much roasted barley for this beer and orange peel hoppiness and an astringant metallic finish, with a dry carboardy chalky aftertaste. Medium body. Moderate carbonation.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 26, 2007 Bottle, poured a nice reddish amber with a thin head. Malty, bready aromas. Similar flavors, toffee sweetness and a slightly bitter finish. A nice ale, nothing spectacular. thebeertourist (2777), Oslo, Norway
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Feb 18, 2007 Bottle. Deep red copper with a huge offwhite head. Grassy hoppy nose with a hint of wet cardboard. Rather sweet, caramel, some bitterness towards the finish. Quite full-bodied. Not quite there. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

A very overrated but not displeasant ale. Your standard English ale mud brown more malty sweetness than hoppy. Fairly good.
