aroma of malts and not much else(but this is not a bad thing). golden/light brown color with a little carbonation and very small off white/light brown head. good lacing. ok, I have to say that I enjoy a good "bitter" and hot damn! this is excellent! flavor of malts a little bit o’ hops and maybe a touch of caramel. very,very,very, smooth palate with a hint of the bitter after taste. this is by far my favorite bitter out of a bottle. I WILL be getting more of this and I MUST be carefull because this is very easy to drink. LOVE IT!

Nov 27, 2008 16.9 oz. bottle for $3.79 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a clear, medium amber body with a frothy, inviting, off-white head. Thin traces of lacing.
Smell: Toasted grains with a bit of caramel alongside a spicy-scented, fragrant hop aroma.
Taste: Biscuity malts with a touch of graininess and caramel sweetness. Sip of black tea. Very, very faint fruitiness. Spicy, floral English hops. The bitterness is initially mild but resilient, and increases as you head towards the dry, bittersweet finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A rather full-flavored session ale with a keen drinkability. Worth a try.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle at Pub Italia in Ottawa. Cool bottle. Nice brown appearance. Nuts and malt in the taste, perhaps a little thin. Pretty good.

Nov 15, 2008 Ok this was a drainpour for me and everyone that tried it. it barely tasted better than a miller. i dont get how this can have a rating above a 3. no way.

Nov 2, 2008 Pours a clear amber-orange with a brief head falling to a lingering ring of foam. Alcoholic, white grape & slightly funky hop aroma. Stale malt and funky hop taste, carastan cereal & Kentish goldings. Finish <i>is</i> long, but compromising in taste (more of the stale malt extract taste). Moderate carbonation. Towards the end a fly flew into the glass and died, but it didn’t seem to improve the flavour any. Interesting but quite far from fresh.

Oct 31, 2008 foggy amber, medium foamy head. Very faint aroma of mildy swwet malt, hay, and grassy hops. Flavor of bready malt, mild grassy hoppy itterness. Little pepperiness from alcohol. Boring in general, nothing especially pleasant or interesting about it.
