Overall: A rich estery beer with lots of toasted notes and warm fruit esters, plums pears and raisins. Bittersweet finish with sweetness coming from diacetyl.

Sep 21, 2008 Getting notebook online. Bottle. Pours a beautiful red with an orange glow. Not much aroma, just a fresh scent. Taste was very light and smooth, very refreshing. Very good drinking beer.

Sep 20, 2008 Darkish amber pour, frothy white head. Smell is hoppy, malty, sour. Taste malty, banana, sweet, tastes like a darker beer than it looks, bitter finish. Pretty good.

Sep 19, 2008 Poured with a nice head and a bit of lace. Clear dark amber color. Malty hoppy aroma. Great flavor with very interesting English hops going on. Plenty of malt to balance. Excellent beer. Decent finish. Easy session beer.

Sep 17, 2008 550ml bottle, gold foil. Red amber color. creamy off-white head. Classic aroma of an English Pale Ale. It just smells like beer. Aromas of caramel and bread. Slight wood hop aroma. Flavor is a huge caramel malt, bread and some light hop bitterness. Medium bodied. This bottle has the slightest metallic flavors in the finish, might be from some of the beer coming in contact with the foil. Perfect balance. great representation of style. Cheers!
