Pours dark copper with a off white lingering head. A little sourness in the aroma and not in a good way. Maybe some oxidation as well. Very one dimensional flavor with slight nutty and caramel flavors in the background. It tastes like a second runnings beer from a parti gyle. There is a little hop bitterness but not much. The body is very thin for a 5% abv beer. I was expecting more.

Hazy medium amber with a good head and strips of lace. Typical British Ale with a clean caramel malt followed by balancing hop bitters. Typical (in this case) = normal, good quality session ale. Very easy on the palate - make a night of it in good company.

Bottled 500ml. -from Presporska Pivoteka ie Cafe Luxor, Bratislava. Clear amber coloured, medium sized off white head, caramel nose. Moderate malty, caramel and fruits with mild hoppy notes in the finish.

Bottle.. Creamy off-white good mostly lasting head. Brown amber colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Light bitter flavor. Average light bitter finish. Oily palate. A little boring.

Heavy, complex fruit in aroma, almost like an ESB meets an Old Ale. The flavor is malty and fruity, in the middle between the complexity of an Old Ale and the easier drinking of an ESB. Good for what it is.

16.9 oz bottle pours amber with a off white head. Aroma of sweet malts and a bit of hops. Taste is pretty much all the sweet malt. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle from an Xmas present from my team. What maeib said. In fact I can add very little. It’s inoffensive, not an old ale and has some ok malt. It’s some water with some malt and alcohol. that’s about the size of it.

Bottled. A dark brown coloured beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet fruity although fairly thin. Malty in the mouth. This again. Not an old ale in my book and quite dull really although there’s nothing wrong with it.

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is dark amber. Aroma and taste are caramel, malt, nuts and hops.

clear copper color, thisn off white head, tiny beads of lace. nose of sweet malt and a trace of hops. flavor follows nose with sweet malt and a real mild hop presence. medium bodied, mild hop bitter finish. a rather forgettable, inoffensive beer.

Bottle from Cartmel Village Shop. Pours reddy brown. Nose is strong English hop fruit aroma and bready malt. Taste is roasted chocolate malt and some crisp tart hop bitterness on the tongue.
