Golden clear color, little aroma or boldness in flavor. An average, inoffensive almost lager taste. Reliable brew for most occasions.

Fukito (610) - Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA - MAR 5, 2008
Can, january 08. Shinny, clear orange-golden color with a dense, creamy white head. Fruity, skunky aroma. Bland, neutral flavor with some very slight bready malt notes. Oxidized. A tad too sweet. Medium palate, watery and empty with a malty, oxidized aftertaste. Skunky, bland pale ale.

bozoNZ (655) - Christchurch, NEW ZEALAND - FEB 29, 2008
Uni Staff Club Tasting 29/01/08. Nice amber golden, slight haze. Sweet malt nose, caramel flavours - served slightly on the warm side. Faint mineral notes, light carbonation but nice character and flavours

DandyWolfFloyd (378) - Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 28, 2008
I saw the bottle, and said to myself - classic British brew. It offers almost no aroma, appearance is quite normal. The flavor is very forgetable. The palate feel is ordinary. This beer is very forgetable. I was disappointed, by what I thought would be a UK classic.

yalnikim (800) - Wellington, NEW ZEALAND - DEC 11, 2007
Tasted 11/12/2007. 500ml bottle from the cellar, at about 15c. Deep gold. Brilliant. Airy white head. Soft caramel and nutty notes on the nose. A little orange hop character backs it up. Good dry malt and nettle-like hop balance in the mouth. There’s a slight watery aspect and a lollyish finish, neither of which I’m not keen on. Everything else is pretty solid, without being inspirational. If only this was what NZers had to complain about.

I had this beer at a bar and found it mediocre. Even for a bitter, I found the taste of the alcohol to be too prominent. It pours a burned golden brown color with little head and the palate was not attractive. Very harsh and no real substance, but on the plus side it does have a clean, sharp taste, although not very palatable.
