glip (21) - Kitchener, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 26, 2004
500mL bottle, serveed in a no-nick. Persistent head, fairly nice hop aroma. Lots of carbonation (too much, IMHO). Nice finish. Enjoyable.

Eructoblaster (2043) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - MAR 22, 2004
Very nice copper and more than average carbonated (for that style) body. Honest white head. Light caramel nose. Interesting bitter taste that goes into a crescendo of intensity and ends in a long final. This is a nice one...

SDbruboy (1857) - San Diego, California, USA - MAR 19, 2004
Draft, pours clear amber with a nice white head. Sweet malty aroma with a bit of honey and hops. Full malty flavor, with a significant floral hop presence and a slightly spicy finish. Medium body and highly carbonated.

caledonian (367) - Surrey, British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 18, 2004
Canned. Amber with a persistant creamy head. Faint malty aroma. Goes down fairly smooth, albeit a bit thin, leaving some bitterness.

piscator34 (1582) - Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA - MAR 9, 2004
An amber coloured beer, with a roasted malt nose. The malt flavor is assertive in an unpleasant way, but once you get past it there are some nice toffee and vanilla notes. Fairly heavy mouthfeel. It's ok, but not a favorite.

jerkadilly74 (155) - mooresville, Indiana, USA - MAR 8, 2004
A beautiful English Ale in my opinion. A large frothy head that dominated the top half of my glass. Some lacing. Aromas of roasted malt and caramel. Tasting one of these made me feel as if I were in an English Pub. A fine beer with a great name . The older bottles in the early 90's were cooler.

grant60 (185) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - MAR 5, 2004
440mL can. the nitro widget in this seemed to make the head frothier than most other widgert cans, and it spills over the top every time. big frothy dead white head, orange brown colour, and the usual caramel, and malt tastes from a macro bitter.
