Sampled at the International Great Beer Expo, Rock Hill, NY in 2010
Pours a cloudy copper with a robust head , good retention and excellent lacing. Full bodied mouthfeel. Smooth start to finish. No aftertaste. Excellent drinkability. Will have to look out for this again.

From a growler at my son’s house in CT. Poured a clear amber color with a large white head that dissipated quickly. Not a strong aroma, malty, nutty and some caramel. Taste is medium sweet malt with medium hops. Also tasted a little metallic. Not much of a finish. Overall this Scottish style ale was average at best. My son had it before and said it was better the first time. I will pass on having this one again.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Nutty aroma of buttered toast and mild citrus. Deep amber color, one finger head from a tap pour. Toasty, almost smokey taste with bitter back burn. Medium body but an easy drinker I’d say. An American amber with some roasty Scottish character
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A nice, quiant amber ale that has a decent amount of hop presence and citrus grain. Draft shows solid amber, head is full then subsides to minimal presence. Taste is malty, medium hoppy and fulfilling. This is a decent brew to endulge in. Amber waves of grain.

I’ve been drinking Olde Burnside for years, but I just realized that I never rated it. Drinking a pint before a basketball game in Hartford, Ten Penny Ale is a well-balanced ale that gets most of its flavor from its barley malts. Solid brew, great session beer.

Draught. Pours dark red and brown with a small beige head. Aromas of cocoa, caramel, and toffee. The flavor is sweet, with notes of caramel and cocoa. Medium carbonation and body. Average. [847]
