n49921 (108), USA Mar 31, 2008 Bottle. Pours a very nice dark amber. Head is a thick white, but went down quick. Aroma is a bit of malt, but somewhat odd. Taste is more malt than I thought. Not bad, had a bit of an off taste I coundn’t place. lithy (1600), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Mar 30, 2008 Pours a deep amber color with a puffy tan head leaves some lacing as it disappears. Nose is almost like sweet brown ales, no detectable hops. Medium bodied ale with a taste like sweet brown malt and only a small hop finish. A very good beer, but so much different from what I’ve come to expect when I see Pale Ale. MrStitch (138), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with an eggshell head that leaves some lacing. Aroma is earthy, malty, and hops. Flavor is pete and earth kind of like a scotch mixed with malt and hops. It’s well rounded in flavor and smooth on the tongue. I can say that the quality of the beer never disappoints, I can always enjoy one. dm9831 (1167), Monee, Illinois, USA Mar 21, 2008 pours dark, slightly hazy amber, medium tan head, some lacing. i caught floral alcohol and earth in the nose. my first impression of the taste was mud, but as it warmed, i caught creamy caramel and malt. the palate is creamy smooth, with a slightly bitter finish. although i say this about most of the beers i drink, "the more i drank this, the more i enjoyed it". that kicked my overall rating up another notch. so there! dolemite77 (184), Maryville, Tennessee, USA Mar 16, 2008 This has been one of my favorites for some time. It is a fairly basic beer, but to me it typifies English beer. Very earthy beer. Mellow malts, with English hops that reside just under the surface of the malt. Pours amber with a frothy white head. good lacing. Not terribly adventurous but a great beer every time. gam (1059), brisbane, Australia Mar 16, 2008 A sunset red colour,thin head,carbonation seems rapid.Artoma,malty and a nice malt.Also a caramel hint.Flavour nutty, hops good malt bitter,hops are sharp in taste,themalt is very pronounced,bitter is nasty,finish is dry and malty. CelticBrew (676), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA Mar 16, 2008 Sheeeesh, why with the clear glass bottles? Pours a light amber, very clear like stained glass. Aroma was smelled of a typical ESB, caramel and a bit of lightly roasted malt. Flavour was sweet caramel, lightly hopped. Drinkable, however, forgettable. HughConway (364), Alabama, USA Mar 15, 2008 Bottle. Amber with nice thick off white head. Sweet malt aroma. Malt flavor. Hidden hops. Nice.
