shoestring (187), larkhall, Scotland May 7, 2007 Yup, I get the buttery/silky feeling in the mouth too. Very smooth with nice finish. Malty and biscuity.Not too much carbonation, but as I said, enough to give it a nice rounded ’full’ feel in the mout.Thin off-white head lasts down glass. Bought one bottle from Asda, but wish I had more, always a good sign!! wataru (11), USA May 5, 2007 1 pint bottle, label is "St Peters English Ale." Pours an amber color with small white head. Aromas of hops, malt, and fruit. Palate is very very soft. I like the mouthfeel. Flavor is malty fruity and not bitter. Very little carbonation. anders37 (4516), Malmö, Sweden May 3, 2007 Bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with an off-white head. Malty slightly fruity aroma. Sweet malty fruity citrus flavor. Malty fruity finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste. cgarvieuk (4159), Edinburgh, Scotland May 1, 2007 and amber coloured brew, with alight hoppy nose, and a spict malt fruit flavour. Magtek32 (76), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Apr 26, 2007 500ml bottle. Pours a golden amber colour with almost no head at all. Aromas of hops, malt, earthyness, and a hint of honey. A very earthy flavour with hops and malt coming through as well. A bitter finish comes through in the end. very little carbonation. csbosox (1076), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA Apr 23, 2007 Bottle. Earthy, rye-like hoppy aroma. Malt is also evident. There also seems to be a really mild skunky aroma. Reddish blonde, no head to speak of beside a light coating of bubbles. I have poured the majority of the bottle out and I don’t see any yeast (troubling) or sediment. The taste is kinda good at first, nice, rich malt, some nuttiness, breadiness, and brown sugar but the hops come next and I don’t care for them, and they come in spades, or so it seems. The hops seem to be harsh and their flavor is grating, tons of dirty earthy flavor along with a touch of floral, maybe a freshly planed flower garden? I still get a bit of the skunkiness. The mouthfeel is pretty good, thanks to the malt bill and lower carbonation levels. There is a perception of a sweetness that is not there, or is cleaned up by the bitterness. This beer has some flaws that I cannot overlook, but I cannot say that I didn’t enjoy parts of this beer. I would try it again in draft/cask form. I believe I would underrate this beer at a festival or as part of a session. This has been the first beer of the day, had it flowed up anything, I fear that the redeming points of this beer would have been lost. garthicus (1216), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Apr 23, 2007 I so so wanted to enjoy this beer, ottle is fantastic, label too, pours nice, smells nice, tastes kind of like a beer mixed with pot or grass, bitter, nice-ish, I am torn between loving it or despising it jaymobrown (1343), Chicago, Illinois, USA Apr 15, 2007 Slight sunk and hop nose. Malt favors with some nutty aftertastes. Bitter up front. Pale and not much flavor happening. Decent but could use a bit more flavor. Decent feel.
