blankboy (3165), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 7, 2007 Bottle. Pours a clear orange-amber with a small diminishing white head. Nice simple but pleasant aroma of caramel malt, Goldings, fruit and tea. Flavour’s the same: caramel malt, a good amount of Goldings hops, a bit of fruit and a dry, average bitter finish. Average to medium bodied. Like I said earlier, it’s simple and there’s nothing ground-breaking here but it’s a pleasurable, easy to drink Bitter -- nothing wrong with that. shintriad (698), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 5, 2007 Not bad. The pour is extremely thin and flat, but for a mild bitter like this it’s expected. Or maybe it wasn’t stored right. Fairly dark, thin amber head with a very woody, grassy aroma. Sharply bitter and hoppy with a rich malty presence, some bread and chocolate notes. Fairly clean and tasty. Nice. DownsouthGav (602), Greater London, England Sep 30, 2007 Pours a frothy beige head. Deep carotene in colour. Slight carbonation. Nose of cream and vanilla, some hops and a faint whiff of alcohol. Smooth creamy taste, nicely balanced bitterness. Some sweetness and quite malty. Very nice. tomthompson89 (1459), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 29, 2007 redish orange color, minimal head, nose is malty with some hops kicking around in the background, flavor was very similar kinda creamy mouthfeel joe19612 (673), camberley, Surrey, England Sep 19, 2007 Bottle. Poured a amber colour with a thin creamy head. Malt and hops well blended, quite aromatic; caramel of course, good body structure. A good clean crisp beer. TheJester (694), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Sep 14, 2007 500 mL bottle. Probably one of the lightest (alcohol) beers I’ve ever tried. The colour is mahogany, with a thick, creamy head. Sweet brown-sugar malty aroma, with a touch of Goldings hidden behind. The taste begins well, with the same sweet maltiness, but quickly thins out . There is some biscuit in there as well. Slightly bitter, quick finish. Light bodied. Carbonation is about right. Good session beer, but that’s about it. daniele (1642), Italy Sep 13, 2007 rossa schiuma buona nello stile persistente profumi di luppolo e malto leggero caramello luppolo in bocca lievemente dolce tagiata abbondantemente dal luppolo onlyrocknroll (218), Cork, Ireland Sep 10, 2007 Rad with a small and sustained head. Nut and caramel malt flavours well balanced with some considerible bitterness. Uncomplex but very drinkable, a good choice for a session beer.
