No discernable hops, very mild and unoffensive. A good session ale, but that's about it.

Decent and and average appearance, but this one goes down easy andhas just enough flavour to make you enjoy it. A good beer that I would purchase again.

Medium amber clear with a small white head. Aroma is slightly stale malt and hops reminiscent of many a typical english ale. Medium to soft body. Uncomplicated yet reasonably well balanced malt and bitter flavours. Mild to bland, slightly more bitter, less sweet finish.

TFOB. Dark amber colour, little head slightly sweet and malty. Could use a good amount of more hops.

Tasted at TFOB. Weak tasting ale. Low bitterness level, but even so, little or no malt balance.

Toasted orange-brown colour. Mellow malt aroma, and a nutty/fruity malt flavour. Enough hops in the finish for you to notice them, but not enough to get very excited about. An average session ale.
