3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Light coppery brown w/ a lasting off white head. Malty w/ the typical herbal/tobacco leaf english hop aromas; lightly toasty & nutty; slight caramel and fruity. Well balanced and malty w/ some earthy hop flavor as well as fruity, slight diacetyl to add to complexity and a dry lightly toasted malt aftertaste. Lightly prickly carbonation but low, medium body w/ a dry m/f. Not as complex as other english ales, but a nice flavorful session beer.

I thought that this was a very good ale. Nice and smooth with a unique enough taste that I would want to drink it again.

Had this one on draft on a recent trip to Atlantic City. A good representative of the style. A dry hoppy flavor and a bit of bite are what this beer offers. A creamy head and finish complete it. Very good.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: MAR 16, 2005 I must say that I had never heard of this before I went to a party in which this was on tap from a keg. My first thought was of Bass, but a bit more mild. It is very drinkable with a nice, creamy, fine-bubbly head. The sweet taste was not overbearing, even as the beer got warm. I must say that this one gets my approval, but it is also only one to start the night off with. It will taste like water after a London Porter.

Nice typical amber ale with malt and a little sweetness. It is smooth and thin in the mouth, but nothing to crow about.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Light copper with a thick white head. Aroma was a little malty and grassy. Thin and watery mouthfeel. Light hops, citrus fruits, and malts on the tongue. Rather bland and boring, but it's very potable.

Dark aroma, nice head, bittersweet taste. The aftertaste gets old after about 3/4 of a bottle, but it's not that bad. If I was looking for something like this, I might stick with a stronger German beer. Not bad, but not the best.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Amber color, slight haze, white head. Light aroma, malt, slightly sweet. Flavor was malty, tones of toffee and butterscotch, slightly sweet. Medium body, pretty smooth. Not bad.
