can: I was bugged forever by beer drinking buddies drinking this stuff in my 20’s, but I still love it! Very comparable to Fuller’s London Pride in every way, but Fuller’s is just a little smoother. My British genes have engineered my tongue to take to this immediately. Love the creamy, fruity, malty flavours. As with all bitters, great with food. Warning: the bottles aret brutal - it will taste taste horrible & your buddies should tease you.

Sep 25, 2008 500ml Bottle - Copper/amber in colour. Fruity aroma with malt and a hint of tea. Mildly fruity taste with dried fruit and a mild hoppy element.

Sep 19, 2008 Had from the can and the can must have been bad. Just nasty with a dry malt like taste all the way through. It felt almost as if it was powdered. I need to go back to this one.

Sep 16, 2008 Nice, malty smell up front, but not overwhelming. The appearance is similar to other English browns, such as the more known Newcastle. I did detect a bit of a banana flavor in this ale, but once again, not too much. The palate is soft and pleasant. I would describe this as a "polite" drink. Nothing overwhelming or outstanding. Would pair nicely with some curry.

Sep 15, 2008 Bottle, poured into pint glass. Very nice shade of red with a tiny head that faded fast. Aroma is light, like grain and sugar. Tastes nice and malty with very light bitterness, creamy fouthfeel. Unfortunately it’s unbalanced and a boring beer.
