On Tap at The Front Door Boise, Pours out a orange amber topped with a tan head. Aroma of roast malts a little wood and some fruit sweetness. Tast was of more light fruit sweetness and rich malts. A tasty brew.

Tap @ TFD: Soft copper pour with a finger of creamy beige head. Nice bits of lacing. Aroma is fruity and floral bitters with a little toffee. The taste follows the theme of the previous 3 Lang brews sampled this evening; a fruity, light floral hop taste combined with the English style malt and toffee. This one has more fruit presence than the others. Enjoyable.

Amber color with thin tan head. Lightly roasted malt nose with a hint of fruit. Very light flavor with a touch of hops, notes of carmalize fruit and malt. Finish is very clean.

Called Sopwith Camel London Ale at Summerfest 05 in Seattle. Clear light amber caolour with thin tan head. Mild malt nose. Perfumy malt taste with dry floral finish.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Oakes. Golden coloured with a thin white head. Malty with earthy and toffeeish notes, caramel and faint fruit. Flavour is fairly simple, sweet caramel, light earthiness and dustiness. Simple brew, but quite drinkable.

Copper colour. Fruity (peach, cherry) aroma with light hints of diacetyl. Lightly toasty, fruity, lightly caramelly body. Sweetish finish. The yeast tends to be the most dominant characteristic of the beer. It was, a long time ago, the Fuller’s yeast but has mutated and refined over the years to produce a distinctively fruity, subtley complex ale.
