Pours reddish brown. Sour malt nose with a light, smooth malt flavor. It is slightly bitter and goes down just right.

Draft. Medium brown color with off white head. Nutty malt aroma. The taste was the same with nice roasted character throughout.

Cask @ the brewpub. I’m finally rating a legitimate mild! Nice darker brown color with some nutty-malt aroma. Taste has some light nutty-bread malt, tea, and a pleasant bready flavor. Wow - pretty nice.

Cask-conditioned. Golden-amber body with a velvety, cream-colored head. Malty, sweet tea aroma with cigar notes and a touch of apple. Flavor has some nice depth of malt, a little bit of graininess, and is medium sweet with modest, but deceptive bitterness. Ample flavor, but light bodied with very delicate carbonation. An enjoyable mild ale, especially on cask.

On tap at the GLI. Poured a darker copper color with a very small sized off white head. Aromas of nuts, caramel and also had a light floral and light fruitiness to it. Tastes where on the nutty side with caramel. Somewhat of a lively if not thin body. Light lacing left on the glass.

Draft. Pours copper with little head. Aroma of malt, slight hops and caramel. Tastes malty, mild indeed, with a smooth palate. Not earth-shattering, but solid.

Cask... Poured a copper color with no head. Sweet and hoppy aroma. Light bittering hops, sweet caramel, and tart passion fruit taste. Beautifully balanced, this is a nice mild.

Great example of a mild ale; light hops flavor and easy drinking.

A little smoother than the regular mild, kept a very nice soft creamy head throught the pint, decent mild ale

Outstandingly fruity (mild) with a balancing English hop character. A beer to have anytime, anywhere.
