attractive beer. shiny copper with fruity brown undertones. Treacly head the lingers for a little while. Nose is decent. Sour apples and dried apricots. Maris otter backbone. Excellent sweetness. Sticky even. However there is a strnage watery soapy background. Flavors at first are very sugary. Caro syrup and brown sugar. Carbonation floods the mouth and then an astringent bitterness. Citrusy but leaving something to be desired. Too carbonated for the style and not enough presence in the mouthfeel to make this a good pass at the style. Astringent bitterness is at first nice and then overwhelming. All in all not the worst of its kind but I wouldn’t drink this every day.

May 22, 2008 Not much to this one, its flavor are solid and uncomplicatedly simple, and it is quite drinkable, just not very exciting. Caramel flavors backed up by a bit of hop bitterness in the finish. Very light with a fading aftertaste.

Apr 4, 2008 Bottle. Amber in color with thin white head. Reasonable taste with hop overtones. An attempt at more sessiony than the pale that falls flat.

Feb 20, 2008 Light amber in color. Head is small and disappears fast. Taste is more hoppy and not very complex. Light pale ale that is not bad but not great.

Dec 23, 2007 Pretty looking brown color with a medium beige head. Aroma has some solid caramel maltiness and medium strength fuggles and assorted English hops. Flavor is unexciting but solid - tasty malts of caramel and bread with some light hop bitterness. Very smooth with just enough tingle on the tongue. Not bad at all.
