500 ml bottle. Colour coppery red-orange with a thin white head that disappears quickly. Fresh, slightly fruity aroma with grassy hops. Flavour is sweet and malty with a little caramel, and a dry bitter hoppy finish. Too sharp carbonation for my taste.

Jul 19, 2008 Pours a cloudy, amber/copper color with a quickly dissipating white head-foamy. Aroma is sour with some malts. Taste at first is sour on the backend with malts, caramel and mild hops. As the beer warms, the sour taste dissappears.

Jul 17, 2008 Nice amber pour with a long lasting foamy head. Started out promising enough with a nice, though somewhat light caramel malt and nutty aroma. First drink is slightly sweet and malty, but then a odd bitter rubbery taste takes over, which won’t go away. I’m going to assume this is due to the curse of the clear glass bottle, but this one became a drain pour. I couldn’t finish it.

Jul 8, 2008 Bottle.
Pours a beautiful amber with a nice frothy head. Aroma is coppery hops with a malt casing. Flavor is boring British malt with a hint of sleepy hops. Nothing spectacular; nothing I haven’t had from cheaper beers. Average mouthfeel. Probably pretty good from a legitimate cask; not so much from a regular bottle.
