500ml bottle from LCBO. Poured a clear golden orange with a medium sized head that didn’t last long. Lovely floral hop aroma, with some pepper. Well balanced flavour with some medium bitterness and sweetness. Left a satisfying finish. Good for an English Bitter but fell a bit short of the better English IPA’s.

Light golden, smallish white head. Clean, fresh aroma. Slightly mild hoppy. Gummy sweet flavor. Regular bite.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours clear copper color with a white head. Aroma is toffee, nutty and hoppy. Flavour is malty and nutty and some sweetness.

Tämä on kullan värinen olut valkoisella vaahdolla. Tuoksussa on toffeeta, sitrusta, jonkinlaista leivosta ja kukkaista humalointia. Valitettavasti pieni metallinen vivahdekin löytyy, mutta se on onneksi hyvin huomaamaton. Maussa on sitrusta ja humalointia. Aromin monivivahteisuus jättää selkeästi maun ja suutuntuman varjoonsa. Maksoin tästä paikallisessa maitokaupassa yli 5 euroa. Liian kova hinta tällaisesta tuotteesta.

A darkish amber in colour with plenty of bubbles & a big foamy head & some lacing. A very strong smell of hops with a hint of citrus fruits, caramel & some earthly smells. Hop & citrus fruit taste. It is mildly bitter with a hop finish & a dry, slightly chalky aftertaste. A smooth beer with a medium body & a dry, crisp finish. It goes down rather well. A very smooth, drinkable beer with hops dominating the smell & taste. Some other flavours including fruit come through as well. /

Skotsk bitter som drar åt det traditionella IPA-hållet. Knappt märkbart dock, snarare en standardbitter, men en bra sådan med fin humleprofil.

Bottle. Orange body, thin white head. Caramel, burnt toffee, mlat, grassy hop background, some nail varnish. Harsh bitterness. Watery palate, bitter finish.

Bottle at the Red Coat Cafe at Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, 06.23.10. Pours clear bubbly gold, white head. Aroma is malty and grassy hops. Flavor is smooth, malty, caramel, and slightly bitter leafy hops. Definitely a session ale.

Nice toffee in aroma and flavor. There is little nuts too. But what I think to be IPA, there is not enough hopeaa flavor and aroma. But beer it self is enjoyable.

500 ml bottle @ home. Rated @ 16.7.2010.
Pours a golden colour with a firm head. Floral hops on the nose with grass and pine needles. Flavour of malts and bitter hops, caramel and grass. Medium bodied with a bit watery mouthfeel. Average bitter.
