UPDATED: APR 10, 2009 UPDATE: One of those new-fangled 330ml bottles from Tesco designed to wean lager drinkers onto crap watery bitters. OK musky herbal hop, toffee and faint orange aroma once heated. Honey, caramel, soggy paper, liquorice and aniseed hints. Seriously missing any of the fruitiness and body of its cask counterpart. Dead slicked tawny amber. Ridiculously overrated, and not just by me. (ORIGINAL RATE) Buttery caramel malt aroma with hints of fruit and roast. Crystal clear red body with a thin white head that vanishes quickly. Toasted malt, juicy fruit, maybe a drop of honey. Much more assertive hop bitterness than the draught version. Fantastic length and complexity for the style. But the greatest thing about this beer is that delicate fresh-breadiness that lingers in the nostrils long after you’ve swigged it. Delicious and insanely drinkable stuff. 737315

Pours clear bright amber. Smell is fruit nut and malt. Medium carbonation. Really well balanced taste. Malt, stewed fruit and mild hops.

A top quality bitter. Just because it’s popular doesn’t make it crap... look at Hoegarden. The malt is very smooth and the hops have a nice ring to them. Greensleeves in my nasal and upper digestive passages.

On tap @ the Oxley Toronto. Poured a deep clear orange/amber with a thin, patchy offwhite head. Aroma was sweet honey and malt. Taste was heavy malt with a mild coppery bitterness. Fairly light body, average carbonation, with a biting medium finish. Very nice bitter.

0,5l bottle. Copper color. Small white head, good lacing. Hops, sweetness in aroma. Dry hoppy bitter taste.

Dark amber, clear body with small white head. Bready, smokey, yeasty aroma. Full bodied, medium sweetness, yeasty with a bit of hops.

500ml can. Lovely tawny-orange body (Lovibond 12) with medium long-lasting head. Develops nice tight lacing in the glass. Smells of cider and hops. It's a fresh spring-like aroma. Looks very appealing. Kinda expected more carbonation from this. Palate is watery and soft. Tastes are stacked: sweet fruitiness spiked with bitter hops and caramel hints ending with buttery character. Very good beer.

amber with small head. substantial maltiness, but very smooth and easy to drink. nice brew, but not particularly distinctive.

Bottle. Dark copper pour with a white head. Aroma of malt and caramel. Slight hoppy flavour with malt, caramel and a little fruit.

500 ml Bottle from Centra,Majorstuen,Oslo. Enjoyed @ home. Refreshing nice beer.A good option for lager beer.

500ml bottle (UK) Golden with an long-lasting off-white head. Finetuned aroma with malt. Aroma has malty caramel and floral hopping. Extremely easy-drinking beer.
