Svesse (5197) - Hässelby, - MAY 1, 2007
(Bottle) Amber colour with frothy, off-white, rather brief head. Fruity nose, slightly roasted, with notes of toffee, caramel and dusty hops. Not exceptional but nice. Malty taste with fruit, orange, hops and some caramel. Mainly dry throughout. Dusty hops in the finish, which honestly is a bit short. Body leaning in the thinner direction. Aroma promised slightly more than the taste delivered, but an enjoyable brew.

wimpyjoe (1679) - Manchester, Greater Manchester, ENGLAND - MAR 5, 2013
Clear dark golden ale, no head. Not quite as distinctive as other Shepherd Neame brews but the signs are there with a mild dirty hoppy aroma and taste.

hens (197) - Tallinn, Estonia, ESTONIA - NOV 28, 2012
0.5l bottle. Aroma is sweet mandarine, orange. Beaytiful copper color with gentle yellov hat. Taste is silky bitter citrus, finish bit watery and bitter kills other tastes. Cramel flavor suit here.

Oakes (10941) - Savusavu, FIJI ISLANDS - OCT 29, 2012
Copper colour. Thin head. Slightly spicy English hop note, with slightly caramelly malts (of course). Definitely pasteurized. Light spice, lots of caramel and hints of English yeast character. Too clean for what I want in an English ale.

The lasting aftertaste of barley sugar is scrumptious! Lightly hopped, refreshing, burnt toast. I love this beer and will certainly buy it again.
