3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20Bottle. One of the few Non English Bitters that is actually quite good. It is a very well balanced beer, containing a good bit of woody hops and an almost caramelly sweetness. Solid drink.

Grassy, but with a citrus unperpinning. Body is reasonably traditional, but like prima pils, this is very american.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Almost notes of infection for me, band aid, pineapple, medicinal, not what I was expecting.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear amber pour. Small white head. Aromas of caramel, piney hops. Taste is bitter and dry, with a lingering bitter intensity on the finish. Meh.

330ml Bottle No Dates 5.3% @ Earl of Essex 2013/4/17 Very impressive for the style. Crystal caramel malts balanced perfectly with the hops. Good body and carbonation. I could drink this forever. Others weren’t quite so convinced so will have to try again to make sure!

Poured from a bottle. Darker golden color with minimal lacing. Pretty smooth to drink kinda hoppy. Love to support the local company.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a slightly murky light copper with off white head. Nose is malty and a little sweet, though fairly mild overall. Flavor is quite similar to the nose, though hops comes through to balance the malt. Flavor is good, but pretty mild. A little stronger and fuller and they’d have something with this one, but it’s too thin to really grab your attention.
3.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
2013 bottle to a tulip glass. Pours a clear but slightly hazy amber brown color with a foamy off-white head and lively carbonation. Not much in the way of aroma, a lite malt and tea bag. Taste is malt and herbal tea with a little sweetness. The bitterness is light and comes through in the herbal taste. Mouthfeel is thin and a little oily with a little bite from the carbonation.

2.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a clear amber with a bright white head. Smells of iron, hard water which is something I dislike very much, that is why I buy filtered water. Taste is the same, small hint of sweet and straw, no hop character detectable. Disliked this brew even though I appreciate the style.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Malty with an earthy hop scent with slight citrus and toasty bread notes.bone colored head and pretty true amber body. malty bread tastes with a nice crisp dry earthy hop notes that fall back on a toasty biscuit flavor. Slight carbonation smooth and dry but a little thin. Not bad
