For an English ale, it has such a little aroma and with faint hints of a larger rather then an ale. A dark amber with a slow bubble, no head (from the bottled version). Quite a sweet taste, thick and almost syrupy taste. One of the most nicest features (and most swallow) is the bottle a 17th century replica.

St. Peter’s Organic English Ale has an extraordinarily thick, spongy, off-white head, with little brown specks sprinkled about and thick, heavy lacing left behind on the glass. The appearance is murky golden, with suspended brown flecks and lots of bubble streams. Aroma is sharp, with a moldy, cellared smell and some bready sweetness. Taste is of sweet, bready malt, sharp, grassy hops bitterness, nut shell, sugar, and cellar. Mouthfeel is medium and slick, and St. Peter’s Organic English Ale finishes dry, decently refreshing, and nicely drinkable, yet not particularly quaff-able. Overall, this is an interesting and flavorful ale, and I recommend it. RJT

Pervasive skunkiness, vague English hops. The appearance is pale yellow/orange, white head. The flavor is skunk, grass, biscuit, caramel. The finish is light hops, bland. Medium in body, slightly thin. Aroma is almost a deal breaker. Too bad this is the 10th of this style that I’m rating.

(Bottle): Pours a clear golden colour, small white head. Aroma of sweet caramel, citrus and bread. Similar in taste with a good bitterness. Nothing special.

Tap at Jerusalem Tavern. Terrible. Nothing worth writing. Just a piss poor effort labeled as a Pale Ale. Not very good at all

A classic St. Peter’s 0.5l bottle that pours a clear golden body with a small bubbly and sidesticking off-white top. Smells as it should smell really. Light dry caramel, a good buttery sweetness, light floral and decent for a beer within a boring genre. It has a nice comfortable below average carbonation level and the mouthfeel is not that bad either. Quite tasty for a bitter. Lots of dry caramel sweetness, it’s well hopped with bitterhops, a slightly grassy finish and aftertaste also. Yeah, there is a little bit of butter in the taste also, but it’s somehow managed to blend in quite alright. Not a exciting one this one either, but fairly drinkable. 16.05.2013

Poured into a perfect pint. Cool old-timey medicine bottle that is unfortunately green. 3.0 A: Lightly hazed light orange color. Not quite one finger of frothy white head. Retention is about average and a very short ring of lacing is left. 3.5 S: Earthy and minerally with a dry crackery and grainy maltiness. Little bit of toastiness. Grassy and earthy hops. Mild yeastiness. Pretty standard for the style, which is good enough for me. 3.5 T: Taste is like the nose. Earth and mineral. Dry, light toastiness, cracker and grainy malts. Mild yeast, mild-moderate bitterness, grassy hoppiness. 3.5 M: Lighter medium body. Good moderate carbonation. Crisp and dry and smooth. 3.5 D: Decent beer that has no faults.

Summary: This beer is okay - I’m unsure if the bottle was stored properly, or if I’m not looking for the right notes.

Bouteille 500ml sous le nom "St Peter’s English Ale". De couleur orangée et voilée. Nez légèrement fruité (agrumes), de grains de malt, léger de houblon floral et herbeux. Moyenne-mince en bouche et peu pétillante avec une texture aux petites notes huileuses. Goût légèrement fruité (agrumes, traces de pommes et d’abricots) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût malté légèrement sucré du genre caramel très doux avec des notes de pain et de grains. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve un goût légèrement amer de houblon floral aux notes herbeuses. Post-goût moyen, légèrement amer de houblon floral aux notes herbeuses avec des traces fruitées (zeste d’agrumes). (2006)

A nice bitter but for the abv there are better for the flavor and abv not the best. It's okay. Organic. Flat from cask. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
