COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Who can ignore John Martin’s ale that our ancestors called "the noblest of English Pale Ales". This unique beer of 6% ABV is the fruit of truly exceptional craftsmanship, a unique technique whereby authentic Kent hop-bells are added after brewing.

sebletitje (5420) - Enghien, BELGIUM - FEB 23, 2011
bouteille, brun/ambre, mousse beige/rousse Arome de maïs, malt cara et qcq fruits, orge et sucre, maïs donne ce côté trop doux, un peu de malt torréfié. Pas mauvais mais vraiment mon idée d’une pale ale que je pensais être un peu plus amer.

larsga (5325) - Oslo, NORWAY - JUN 12, 2005
Dark orange, initially large creamy head, which quickly subsides. Nose like many pale ales, but fruitier. Taste full of malts, but with a fruity body, followed by a deliciously sharp, bitter aftertaste with hints of spice. Overall, very nice for an English pale ale; more taste than what is usual.

Cornfield (5276) - Oak Forest, Illinois, USA - AUG 18, 2005
Great looking ale, a clear, light copper color with a fizzy, frizzy white head. The aroma is orange and rose petals atop a sweet, fruity caramel malt. Light but volatile in the mouth, the flavor is malt with tart tangerine and perhaps some sweet cherries. The finish is nicely bitter with herbal tones. This is indeed a tasty, well balanced ale.

DuffMan (5199) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - JUL 1, 2010
Bottle. Bright clear bronze, lacy white delicate head. Aroma and flavours of cooked peaches and biscuity malt, slightly toasty. Very good.

downender (5191) - Bristol, Gloucestershire, ENGLAND - DEC 29, 2007
330ml bottle. Pale amber coloured with a slight head. Aroma of grassy hops with some sweet malts. The flavour began with some honey and citrus before a hoppy, dry finish. Good.

Beershine (5173) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - OCT 27, 2007
A welcome change of pace but is an unexceptional beer overall. Caramel, metal and candy sugar in the nose. Has English pale ale flavor qualities and is balanced.

Hildigöltur (5106) - København, DENMARK - AUG 18, 2003
Brown coloured with nice head. Malty and fruity with a nice hoppy finish. Very pleasant and drinkable.

(33cl bottle dated 4-14-11 thanks to bu11zeye) clear gold/amber with lasting creamy fine head. Nose of grape, very fruity, citrus, caramel, and cardboard. Taste is toasty, caramel, caraway, orange, wet paper. Well carbonated, stale grain linger.
