Bottled (Bierzweg, alc. 4.4% BB 08/2010)
Clear copper-amber color, small white head. Typical English nutty-oaky aroma. Decent body for 4.4% beer. Toffee and nuts in the mildly hoppy flavor. Close to many Fuller’s brews. Ok brew, but not very exciting.

Very drinkable - hoppy, balanced bitter. I like Copper Dragon ales though and this didn’t disappoint.

wyzzywyz22 (1644) - Wirral, Merseyside, ENGLAND - APR 3, 2009
Cask, Plasterers Arms, Hoylake. Coppery tinged dark gold colour. Some grassy hop in the aroma but pretty restrained and not much leaping out. Rather dull caramel malt flavour. Thinnish and a bit watery. Yawnsville.

yngwie (10760) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - FEB 28, 2009
Bottle, thx to tarjei. It pours a cute clear, golden body under a minimal off-white head. Biscuity malts and fruityness on the nose, with a touch of butterscotch. Sweet, biscuity malts in the mouth too, also a hint of butterscotch, with fruity hops giving some balance. Full-bodied. Sweet, fruity and bitter finish. A really pleasant one, at least on the quaffable side. A beer I could drink all night. (090116)

KnutAlbert (5186) - Oslo, NORWAY - FEB 17, 2009
Bottle from Centra. Lovely copper. Fine balance, a beer with body and bite, yet very quaffable. I’ll buy more of this!

Gr0ve (2038) - Oslo, NORWAY - FEB 14, 2009
500 ml bottle. Light copper colour. Crystal clear. Medium-sized mixed white head that clings to the glass. Caramel malt aroma. Watery mouthfeel initially then a little prickly hop bitterness. Oily malt flavours. A little bit of caramel and melanoidins from something like münchener malt. Light-bodied. Finishes with a watery aftertaste. Leaves a silky mouthfeel. Not my favourite.
