Bottle, 5.1%, made in Britain. Semi-sweet, caramelly aroma. Clear amber colour. Fizzy, frothy head. The flavour is caramelly with some bitterness, rough at first, but turns more pleasant. Gets a little sour towards the finish.

35,5 cL bottle. Pours deep orange and clear with a light brown and diminishing head. Sweet and roasted malt and slight citric aroma. Flavour is soft malty, roasted to a bit of toffee, in addition it has a slight acidic/citric twist. Ends dry and bitter - very classic English.

Draft. Aroma of some creamy malt, fruit, and floral hops. The flavor is very similar, generally sweet and fruity, creamy mouthfeel and a slightly dry finish. It’s a decent ale that you can find on tap at many less-than-fine establishments.

Bottle. Pours a deep orange w/ medium white head. Smells of caramel and hops, tastes similar. Finishes with caramel and coffee notes. My absolute favorite

Nice deep orange in color. A nice tan head. A good session beer. not to hoppy, malty, or alcholic.

Pours a nice caramel orange, not too much going on in the aroma, there’s an interesting nutty character to bass which seems somewhat unique to it. Medicinal bitterness creeps in in the finish. Palatable.

Bottle... Poured a honey color with a nice head. Not much for the aroma, watery malt. A punch of hops which is balanced by sweet, lingering malt. Pretty refreshing in big gulps. Makes a great session beer, but nothing more.
