It looked more red than brown to me, which I didn’t expect. Not a lot of head. A sweet tasting brew but a little watered down for my liking in a bItter. Reasonably satisfying but nothing out of the ordinary.

buckybeer (666) - Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 31, 2007
Pours a medium slightly hazy amber with a small head. Moderate carbonation upon pour. Aroma is malts, corn, light roast. Flavor is full bitter malts, caramel, and some nuttiness. Bitter and dry finish.

Light caramel malt aroma. Copper colored with a medium palate. Not a lot of flavor here at all. Caramel malts, and really no bitterness to speak of--could be an older bottle.

Ibrew2or3 (4699) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - FEB 11, 2007
12oz bottle pours gold with creamy lasting off white head. The aroma is sweet sweet malts, a bit of spicy noble hops and minerals. The flavor reminds me of a Bass. This beer isn’t as malty sweet though. I like the better balance between the sweet and grainy malts and the spice-floral noble hops. Above average carbonation keeps the flavors bright and at the forefront.

Dark amber in color with small head. Nice light flavor. Decent beer, nothing bad about it.

Not much body. Filtered amber color, very boring. Not as hoppy as I wanted. Typical English swill.

Light body, easy to drink. Not a lot of head. Nothing special to note good or bad. Poured a clear amber.
