Feb 1, 2005 Coppery hue with a small fading fizzy head and some lace. The aroma has notes of hayfield, bready and caramel malts, apple, plum, grassy and aromatic hops, white pepper, allspice, and musty yeast esters. The taste is reserved bitters with a nice dose of malt backbone. The finish is dry and peppery, minor bitterness lingers. The feel is smooth and chalky, average. Well done but not anything at rave about, easy and quaffable.

Jan 31, 2005 Slightly hazy reddish amber with a full light tan head and medium lacing. Earthy, malty aroma with burnt sugar and some hops. Flavor left a bit to be desired but there was a nice hoppy bitterness. There was also an undefinably "musty" flavor that did not improve or dissipate as the beer warmed. Pretty clean finish.

Jan 22, 2005 Tasty stuff, off-white head lingers, transparent orange body... aroma honeyish with hop character. In the mouth it has a bit of spice and some slight earthy vegetable flavour. Not bad, but much better beers for this price.

Jan 12, 2005 Deep gold with a long lasting head. Lovely hoppy aroma, medium bodied with a well balanced palate, hoppy flavour hanging on giving a lip-smacking finish. Lovely beer, tho not that strong at 4.5%.(bottle bought at victoria wine)

Jan 11, 2005 500 ml bottle, purchased in Ottawa. Clear, slightly oily-looking copper-caramel body with a thick white mostly diminishing cap...caramel, grass and a bit of whiskey in the attractive nose...solid, moderately bitter flavor, rather thin and watery in the finish. Another decent but vastly overpriced (in N America anyway) British bitter...

Jan 11, 2005 Superior session ale. Big malty aroma with a cookie-like sweetness. Smooth, easy-drinking with hints of biscuit. Lots of warming alcohol in a lingering dry finish. Subtle spicy notes give it some real intrigue. Very satisfying.

Jan 6, 2005 500ml brown bottle. Poured orange, rocky off white head sits atop. Nice aroma, malts, honey, dominated by floral hop. Light fruitness. Decent malts, toasted grain, some light caramel notes. Noticed a bit of orange character as it warmed up. Medium body. Finishes dry. Ideal for sessioning. Also has a cool bottle and graphics, although that had nothing to do with my rating!
