Beardface (977), Eugene, Oregon, USA Jan 14, 2009 Light amber color with a moderate white head that evaporates quickly. Toffee like smell with some mild fruit to it. Toffee flavor with mild hop back. Blah. luttonm (274), Belgrade, Serbia Jan 11, 2009 Bottle. Deep amber pour with creamy head. Nose is caramel and hops, a little grainy. Taste is very slick and smooth with some caramel malts, honey and hints of the hops in there. Decent pint but a bit metallic and cries macro all over. cfrancis (291), Gloucester, Ontario, Canada Jan 10, 2009 Amber colour with a strong hop aroma. Taste is full and lingers. Nice introductory beer for people that want to go beyond mass produced ales. mountainforest (111), Edinburgh, Scotland Jan 8, 2009 clear light amber. not a strong representative ale of england, but i’ll take this lighter ale over most american
(perhaps what foster is to australia: i.e., not much). steady spring of carbonation. enjoyed this from a bottle on a much needed xmas break in stuart, fl. blutt59 (2042), Dallas, Texas, USA Jan 8, 2009 on tap, almond colored pour, strong foamy head, aroma is caramel and some fruit, flavor is a nice bright bitterness with a clean slight metallic finish afireinside96 (807), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 7, 2009 Bottle. Clear amber pour topped by a diminishing white head. Smells of toffee and earthy English hops. Tastes of caramel and tobacco. This used to be my go to beer before I discovered craft beer, now it is merely OK. ericandersnavy (1038), crossroads, Texas, USA Jan 3, 2009 on tap at fox and the hound in lewisville, tx. poured a nice amber with a white head and left some lacing on the glass. aroma was very sweet with malt, some citrus. flavor was exactly the same as the nose. a real decent brew overall, but nothing special. mpersinger (176), , California, USA Jan 3, 2009 On draft, ruddy hue, good carbonation with tiny off-white head. Current version in US has a light malty tang aroma leading to sour malt and some biscuit and nut flavors. Very thin body and weak finish.
