Jan 16, 2009 Draft in Aug ’08: Poured a orange amber with not much head. The aroma was hops. The flavor was weak, a tad watered down. It did however have hops and bitters present. Just not enough. Overall, a nice session beer, which is what they were going for.

Jul 29, 2008 A very light take on the style, blink and you’ll miss it. Very weak and watery, with a bland caramel malt body, and some light floral hop notes. Very soft on the palate, but needs some tweaking.

Dec 16, 2007 On tap at the brewpub on 10/14/07: Transparent bronze amber pour has a wispy-lacing stringy white head. Slightly toasty pale malted sweet nose has some English hoppy balance. Lightly carbonated body has a good British malty sweetness and light bittering hoppy balance toward a smooth finish. Authentic and drinkable.
