This poured a clear golden body with a three-fingered head that lasted pretty well for the duration. Spotty lacing. The aroma was full of floral hops with a soft pine undertone covering some honey sweetened malts. the "American pizzazz" of the commercial description reveals itself in the increase of hoppy (pine/floral/herbal/citric) bitterness in the flavor that’s well balanced by the sweet, grainy, bready malts. The finish is a refreshing pine and floral bitterness that lingers for some time. Nice drink for the upcoming warmer weather.

Jul 14, 2008 bottle: Typical English beer in ale vein: big hops, bitter tasting, spicy. This is a bitter tasting beer which i didn’t mind given some other flavours going on and these dry ales can be refreshing in the hot summer. Reminds me of St. Peter’s Golden Ale which was also almost harsh. Give me a bitter any day with more balance in the malts. A solid beer, but you have to appreciate this style. Still love the spiriti of low alcohol beers, really light & the perfect bev for lunch or dinner.

Jun 19, 2008 Fresh and light. Hoppy flavour, smooth. Earth and fruity notes. Medium-low in bitterness. Bit watery. Golden color, low in carbonation, medium head. Enjoyable but bit sticky-sweet aftertaste. Very drinkable.

Jun 19, 2008 Dark gold ornage body with a large, lightly off white head. The aroma has some definite fresh wort and malty backbone. There is also some earthy cellar and tea. The taste has fresh bread dough and apple cores. There is also some earhty vegetable in the finish. Dry throughout and a little boring.
