Awesome. Very very easy to drink, great flavor and nose. Clean and crisp, I could knock back quite a few of these. The body is nice and light, and not filling.

I loved this beer. It is exactly what I expect from a bitter. The color was a touch lighter than I expected, but I can’t hold that against it. I love hops and the nose and flavor was devine.

Had a bottle of this while playing Master of Magic appropriately enough. Pours a medium copper. The cascade upon my aggressive pour is beautiful and produces a towering off white fully lasting tight rocky head with wicked lacing. The fantastic nose is heavy on fruit tones especially dried ... plums, dates, raisins, molasses, apricots, apples etc. Doesn't get any better than this for me. The flavor has great balance and fair depth with moderate acidity. The floral finish is of moderate bitterness. The thick body is creamy and soft to lively the finish feels astringent. Been a while since I've had a really good bitter - this hit the spot hard.

Golden to straw brown color, good formed head. Great aroma, spicy oatmeal & chocolate. The taste is very light and clean, slightly metallic. No single pronounced flavor. Aftertaste about two minutes later leaves your mouth tasting like iced tea.
