hughie (3018), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Jan 18, 2007 Golden with a white head. Pleasant, (and quite unusual) sweet and spicy hop aroma. Taste is mainly malt with a little sourness. Low to mid bitterness. It’s not bad. beachbum25 (778), Powellville, Maryland, USA Jan 13, 2007 Updated: Sep 16, 2007500 ML Bottle-poured a clear reddish/amber color w/almost no head or lacing. Didn’t really have much aroma, maybe a little hops or malt or...something. Thin flavor of malted barley, a little sweet, somewhat watery. Didn’t really get much out of this one, maybe some corn & caramel. Somewhat metalic flavor & finish.
Rerate-9/16/07-Tried this again; may have been a little harsh on it the first time. It is certainly a drinkable brew, but not spectacular. Labeled as an English ale & it had that ESB flavor to it, has some bitterness slimchill (775), Austin, Texas, USA Jan 11, 2007 Pours ugly clear-yellow, settles into a patchy light head. Nose is malty, boring. Extremely dry, sour. Light hops present, and some orange peel. Kind of boring, bordering on unpleasant. rauchbier (2993), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England Jan 6, 2007 Bottle, courtesy of John White. Amber, thin shortlived white head and low condition. Low caramel sweetness in the nose, raw barley grain and gentle caramel sweetness in the mouth with a slightly chalky roasted note and a touch of chocolate, good hop bitter finish with some sweet chocolate and a low chalky toasted note.
berkshirejohn (1771), Bracknell, Berkshire, England Dec 24, 2006 Bottle: pours a hazy orange-amber colour with a soapy looking white head; fresh hoppy aroma; bitter taste with a citrus edge, and a gentle bitter aftertaste. themadmumis (344), Westminster, Maryland, USA Dec 14, 2006 Something about this brew keeps me spending $4 to buy it on occasion. Must be the organic upbringing that is so distinctive. Hits the palate just right to make you want more. Why must it be so much $$$? Medium bodied, veggie type taste, rawer feeling. I like it. ehhdayton (1113), USA Dec 14, 2006 Pours amber with a small white head. Has a low hop aroma and the flavor is mild with a little hop and some fruitiness. kseecs16 (865), Naperville, Illinois, USA Dec 6, 2006 Bottle. Poued a clear orange gold with a thin off-white head. Minimal lacing. A nice grassy hoppy aroma, with some floral characters. Just a little bitter with some citrusy and floral notes in the flavor. Nice bitter finish on this smooth medium bodied beer. A pleasant beer to drink.
