Jul 7, 2007 On tap and poured into a pint glass. This ale poured a crystal clear brownish/amber color with a decent sized, fizzy, beige head that slowly faded away. The aroma of this brew was lightly roasted sweet malts, caramel, and a touch of very faint citrus. The flavor was more of the same. Very mild, not much bitterness. Overall, I would say that it had good balance, but the flavor was a bit to subdued for my tastes. Pretty much just an average beer, but very sessionable, none the less.

Jul 6, 2007 Tap...is there anything better than a cold, fresh Bass? Great ruby brown color...nice full creamy-eggshell head, long lasting...hoppy(not overpowering), slightly sweet, friut taste(you decide the fruit),dry aftertaste...goes with too many foods to mention...U.S. PA’s here’s your grandaddy...still a great iconic beer that needs to be rediscovered by "beer" drinkers.

Jul 4, 2007 Fruity, slightly hoppy aroma. Amber brown with a decent head. Fruity taste - red delicious apples, apricot, dry hop aftertaste. Nice creamy body, good carbonation. Fruity and interesting, and well balanced.

Jul 3, 2007 The beers available at Coney Island (Cincinnati, not NY) for the 7/3/07 hot air balloon/fireworks bash were Dud, Dud Blight, Diller Blight, Borona, and this--easy choice. Attractive amber color, aroma of sweet malt and faint hops, taste much the same. A classic in a way but not a standard for either pale ale or bitter. Still, the beer to have when the only other options are the aforementioned losers. On edit: 12 ounce bottle poured into (sigh) plastic cup. You do what you can with the materials on hand.

Jun 29, 2007 This is my desert island beer. While it’s not nearly as complex as many, if I could have only one for the rest of time, this is it.

Jun 28, 2007 Poured from a 12 oz bottle, a pretty copper-amber colored body is produced with a negligable bone head. A ringlet of foam is all that remains after a few minutes, and there is no lacing. Aroma is very English: leather, sweet malty caramel, and hints of raisin and plum.
The taste stores a bit of a bitter surprise, almost like an ESB, with a medicinally hoppy bite mixed with notes of wheat and biscuit. It’s a bit like drinking some orange juice too soon after brushing one’s teeth. Mouthfeel is juicy with a medium body and below-average carbonation. This isn’t a great pale ale by any means, but it’s a decent attempt from the boys across the pond. I won’t be buying any anytime soon, but I’d never turn one down. After thirteen, I took home the girl I found vomiting in the men’s bathroom.
