Very good for a widely available beer in the states....decent flavor but highly lacking of anything to make you love it.

Almost dark colour, not too amber per-se. Medium head with good amounts of lacing. Kind of a yeasty aftertaste that makes me wonder if it was just an old or bad bottle. But in the end quite easily drinkable and not bad

Nice malty beer. Not really much hops present in flavor or aroma but that's why it's so popular. There is a bit of a bite to it though.

12 oz bottle. Not a bad beer, Poured a dark amber with white head. Tasted like a weak IPA Im not too sure if I will try this brew again. Nothing special.

A good bitter, but a bad pale ale. Maybe they should come out and say it, Bitterness ahoy. That small deception aside, its was a very pleasing beer to have. Good mouthfeel from the bitterness, but not something that I look to drink for complexity, its one I look to drink when I don not wish to analyze it.

The color was an unappetizing copper, but with a good head with nice lacing on the glass. The color reminds me of plasma bags when I used to donate for cash. There was no aroma to speak of. The taste was very metallic, unpleasant, and bland on the plate. I first tried this at a kegger at Radford U. My initial impression years ago was correct. This is simply a lousy beer, posing as something better.

Nice color, good nose, nice bitter aftertaste. One of the best things to come out of England since the Beatles.
