Amber color with a small white head. The taste is watery with sweet malty notes and a slight hoppy finish. Not worth it.

Bottle. Dark copper pour with a lasting white head with nice lacing. Aroma is slightly weak, but balanced. This beer has an earthy, malty taste with some light hopping at the end. Slightly bitter finish. A bit watery and light. Lacks the character of say, a fullers ESB, but definitely quaffable. Could make a good session beer. Cask conditioned, I think this beer would gain a few points, but I gotta rate em as I buy em.

Pours a bit deeper in color than I expected. Flavor is at first slightly sweet, but becomes extremely bitter in the aftertaste. Nice lingering flavors, nicely dry hopped with a malt backbone that compliments it quite nicely. My only complaint the finish is slighty watery and chalky. Other than that crisp and easy to drink.

Clear copper with a largish rocky light tan head. The aroma is sweet malt and mild British hops. The flavor is nice, fuggles, slight cinnamon, with a nice bit of caramel. Really quite a pleasant beer. Yum.

Malty and very good. Caramel notes. SMooth. Full bodied. Very good. Dry bittery finish. Interesting.
