Not much in the way of aroma. Body has a nice hop bite to it with a somewhat light body. Pretty much to style and a good session brew.

Bottle as Royal Oak Traditional Bitter. Cloudy amber with some sediment. Light tasting. Bitterness comes though slowly in the finish. Overall, seems a bit 2 dimensional.

UPDATED: AUG 14, 2006 [Cask at Cockney Pub, Århus] A hazy red beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma is sweet with light hoppy notes, while the flavor is sweet malty with medium berry notes as well as light flowery notes, leading to a bitter end.
