kmweaver (1899), Takoma Park, Maryland, USA May 9, 2008 50cL bottle, courtesy of argo0. Thanks, Aaron! Pours a bright, clear orange-amber color; mostly headless, with a touch of oiliness and some slight bubbles at the perimeter. Fruity, sugary aroma; a touch sticky and medicinal and flabby. Medium mouthfeel: lightly carbonated; sticky malts and red fruits and sugar; not exceptionally complex, pretty sticky, and some cardboard / toasty malt notes. Medium finish, showing bitterness and stale malts.
Beth101 (80), West Yorkshire, England Aug 4, 2008 Was copper in colour with a small off white head. Had a smell of oranges and tasted fruity. I t was smooth and sweet. thornecb (1010), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA Jul 10, 2008 Pours tea orange into an English pint. White micro head recedes to skim surface. Biscuit aromas. Full with caramel from front to back. Slight metallic toffee/cookie finish of medium length. KnN (239), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA Jul 6, 2008 Pours a nice clear ruby/brown color with a bit of a white head. A little malt on the nose, but not much. A little bitter on the first taste, but smooths right out although it’s a little bitter on the back end as well. Not bad, not great. Pretty decent ESB. HogcliffeLenny (132), Christchurch, England Jul 3, 2008 Bottle 500ml from Asda, Bournemouth. A fruity aroma but not anything I could put a name to. Pours a rich amber with a small white head. Fruity taste, as well, but almost like a fruit bubble gum taste. No bitterness at all, slightly sweet. Quite a thin drink. Alright, but not really for me. azlondon (468), Greater London, England Jun 30, 2008 Appearance: Brown. Little bit of head. Nice amount later.
Aroma: Fruity and raisins. Malt, bit of hops.
Taste: Fruit and malt. Bitter aftertaste.
