mgermani (617), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Apr 17, 2008 I have rating notes for this beer, but only the vaguest memory of having tasted it. I think my father bought it for me and I had it at Christmas 2007...
Pours an amber-gold with a moderate head with poor retention. Aroma is slightly sour, strong hops and corn. Nice hoppy taste! Diacetyl (clear bottle...) and a bit sudsy. Lagerish malting, crisp finish. Thin body but ok, light carb but creamy. I like the hops; very sessionable.
As_a_Newt (73), blackpool, Lancashire, England Oct 7, 2008 Nice caramel colour with a floral nose. nice presence although is lacking in substance. a very nice drinkable beer though sfh_odense (80), Odense NØ, Denmark Oct 4, 2008 Red-amber with a nice off-white head. Aroma is a little hoppy, with notes of flowers. Taste is nice bitter, with notes of flower and earth. Nice Bitter. skortila (2433), Bunnik, Netherlands Sep 25, 2008 Bottle bought somewhere in Kent. Aroma have some british, flowery hops, bit sharp. Some maltiness. Clear, copper -brown coloured with an off-white head. Taste is bitter, bit sweet. It has some british hops and maltiness. Bit sharp/astringent. Not really great. Cask is much better. JesseM (406), Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Sep 14, 2008 500mL bottle from the LCBO. Pours a nice red/amber with a big off-white head. Aroma: Skunky British hops on top of (sour?) malt body that one would expect from the style. Flavour: Skunky and metallic upfront, leading into some nice but too breif malts, and then finishing with some nice assertive bitterness. A touch of diacetyll. Maybe a touch overly carbonated. Not all that bad though, I was worried that being from a clear bottle would spell doom for this one, but on the whole it’s a nice and enjoyable Kentish bitter. A brown bottle would work wonders for this beer. TaxiDriver (528), Stadland, Germany Sep 13, 2008 Bottle. Light sour and sweat, then it gets moderate sweet. A small white frothy head, which is normal long lasting; orange body. The taste is very bitter with an average duration. The body is dry and medium strong with an soft carbonation and a light astringent finish.
