mjg74 (1799), La Mesa, California, USA Sep 28, 2006 Tap, San Diego Brewing. Pours a dark amber color with minimal head. Light malty aroma with some English hoppiness. Moderately bitter malty flavor. Some spiciness as well. fordest (1759), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Sep 24, 2006 Draft at brewery. Wow, no ratings since 11/04!!!!! Now billed as Admiral Baker’s Best. Bitter just isn’t marketable I guess. Amber pour withbright white head. Not much aroma. Classic malty body with a bitter flavor on the finish. Not bad. DarkElf (2681), La Jolla, California, USA Nov 22, 2004 (Draft: San Diego Brewing Company in San Diego, CA) Tastes like an English bitter with a Pacific Northwest influence. Moderately sweet and fruity, lightly malty, but also fairly bitter. Moderate grapefruit hoppiness tends to dominate the finish. The palate is smooth and soft, that is, until the hops kicks in in the finish. The nose is sweet and very fruity, also lightly hoppy. Light amber color. Large off-white head is creamy, fluffy, and slowly settles to a thin layer, fully coating the glass with dense lace. microdyke (360), Portland, Oregon, USA Jan 6, 2003 Golden color and floral nose. Bitter right up front followed by fruity undertones with not much aftertaste. DaSilky1 (1622), San Diego, California, USA Aug 1, 2002 Updated: Feb 22, 2003cask: creamy floral Bouquet..golden color joined by a thin layer of tiny tiny bubbles...a tad watery but with a pleasant hop presence..very floral tawards the finish
