2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Light amber colour. The aroma is soft, malty bitter. Light body, soft, very English with a malty character, touch of diacetyl and a creamy cask finish. Underhopped, though.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Draft at brewpub. Amber with scattered lace
Bland nutty malt aroma with late plastic. The palate is oily and laden with butter but yields to a toffee and lightly toasted malt finish
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(On tap) Beautiful clear amber colour with a small, off-white head. Sweetish aroma of caramel, fruit and nuts. Medium body, a little low in carbonation with sweetish - almost exotic - fruit accents. Smooth and lightly hoppy finish. 040508
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Amber with fluffy, but white, minimal head. Yeasty, fruit aroma. Biscuit and subtle fruit tastes with a good, dry finish. Somewhat "thin", could do with more body.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle: Pours copper in color with a brief head. Fruity aroma. Sweet dates, mild citrus, accompanied by a toasted barley subtlety. Has a toffee-ish malt character, light prune suggestions, and a rounded mouth feel. Toasty with a mild bitterness, yet it’s lacking hop character in my own opinion.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Hazy amber with a minimal head. Initial aroma smells a bit of Belgian-type yeast, but subsides to fruity orange and some chewy malt. The flavour is a bit meek, showing some light bitterness. Light bodied and a bit metallic, but lasting and well carbonated.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
BottledHazily amber, brief head. Fruity aroma with notes of melon and orange. Medium bodied and lightly salty with some bready malt tones. Low bitterness. A light and easy going offering.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: AUG 7, 2009 Aroma of malt (light bread), floral hops, fruity. Amber colour somewhat cloudy. Fizzy off-white head that fully diminished without lacing. Tastes of sweet malt, fruity with a touch of nuttyness. Finishes sweetly with no hop bitterness to speak of. Medium body with a rather watery texture. Very soft carbonation - almost flat. Overall a tasty brew but could use a bit more balancing hop bitterness.
