omhper (10145), Stockholm, Sweden Dec 18, 2007 Cask at the brewpub. Clear copper colour. Aroma of hay and fruit. Solid body for it’s size, perhaps a tad fairly mouthfeel. A drinkable, fairly authentic English cask bitter with low bitterness. ABUSEDGOAT (1872), California, USA Nov 27, 2007 Amberish color. Aroma is spicy English hops, a hint of diacetyl. Lightly toasted malts with some caramel notes. Fairly true to the style. Beer_2000 (1124), Kristiansand, Norway Sep 24, 2006 On tap. Dark golden body with white head. Some toasted malt in the aroma. Flavor is dry, toasted malt and also a bit biscuity crisp. Not very bitter, but with a long pleasant aftertaste. In fact very similar to a British bitter. luv_casks (169), USA May 27, 2006 Aroma: Low hop aroma (very faintly flora) restrained malt. Buttery notes in the aroma
Appearance: Golden with a slight copper hue poured very hazy with a lot of yeasty floaties good off white head
Flavor: Nice crisp beer with nice malt and hop balance (almost chewy) felt slightly tannic
Palate: medium light on the tongue
Overall: A well made beer. Unfortunately the diacetyl which got more pronounced as the beer warmed up got in the way of enjoying this beer. Seems like a rare mis-step for Magnolia and Dave McLean
