Finalmente volvi a degustar esta cerveza, tenia como año y medio que no lo hacia. La primera pale ale que probe, mi cerveza favorita durante mucho tiempo, tiempo en el que aunque no sabia mucho acerca de la cerveza artesanal, sabia que esta era una gran cerveza. Cerveza color ambar, con cabeza pequeña que presenta retencion regular. Muy buen aroma de intensida media, con notas predominantes de malta, tambien se perciben notas citricas de lupulo. El sabor es excelente, cremoso, refrescante; al igual que en el aroma, predominan notas de malta, aunque tiene un gran balance entre malta y lupulo, comienza agridulce y termina amarga, la sensacion en boca es excelente. Cerveza e cuerpo medio, nivel de malta medio, nivel de lupulo medio y carbonatacion media.

50cl bottle. Pours copper colour with thin white head. Caramel malt & earthy British hops in the aroma, few raisin notes too. Flavour is decently bitter, lots of dark malt, slight tangy hop complexity too. Prefer it on cask, but the bottled version is very pleasant. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Orange-gold, thin creamy-foam head. Very English hop aroma, with a bit of caramel. Bitter toffee flavours with some balanced hoppiness. Nice and refreshing.

Good, off-white, dense and fine head over clear, golden-amber beer, looking dead. Caramel and a hint of butterscotch, rainwater. Lots of diacetyl, caramel, and even hints at toffee. Tastes dead too. Light, dull, but oily-slick, with an impression of artificial carbonation. Not a patch on Fullers’ cask offerings. I might sound like a CAMRA die-hard, but it’s as it is!

A very good classic beer that really defines the style. It looks very crisp and clear. The taste is malty with a nice english hop finish. A beer that I can enjoy on a hot summer day.

Smells of English hops, slight orange haze, biscuits. Clear beer, with dissipating white head. Taste is more English hops, bitterness, some caramel and honey flavors. Very thin mouthfeel Finishes bitter, and somewhat like a cheap lager. This wouldn’t be a bad session beer, but the price seems to be out of the range. I could drink a lot of these. Likeability 3.5/5.

Several 25cl cans on Easyjet flights recently. Pours dark amber with decent head. The nose is chocolate biscuits and sultanas. The taste has more of this fruit ’n’ nut bar thing going on. The palate is at least medium bodied and creamily textured with a nice clean finish. Overall, what a cracking beer to have on an aeroplane. I’d be happier to drink this all day or on a longer Easyjet flight.

Poured from a bottle into a goblet. Appearance is light copper with a thin white head. Aroma reminds me faintly of unpleasant cherries. Taste is an oddly awful light cherry. This beer is miserable. I can’t even finish the bottle I have. Thankfully its just a one bottle purchase.
