Jul 6, 2008 bottlle from the Captain, thanks Mark. Good brew! nice dark amber color. Aroma of chocolate, caramel, coffee. Kind of robust for an English bitter and I must say I like it. Very smooth and highly drinkable. Not real thrilled with the Palate on this one/leaves behind a chalky finish in the mouth that lingers a little too long. That being my only complaint about this beer.

Jul 3, 2008 On tap at the Sanctuary. I’m less and less inclined to go for British ales these days, but this one really holds up. A classic bitter, rich and nicely balanced.

Jul 3, 2008 Pours with a nice amber color, but with a thin head. Has a nice malty flavor with a smooth finish. Very easy to have more than one.

Jul 1, 2008 It was just so so so nice to be able to try this legendary beer on tap here in the Antipodes. It was luscious, creamy, hoppy and malty. It was almost everything that I expected it to be, but not quite like the Twisted Ho Challenger that was based on it.
I’m not sure if travel was a factor, but the Challenger does taste so good near its source. Nothing against London Pride. I recommend people to it all the time.
