TheJester (694), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Aug 1, 2006 "English Ale" on the label. Thin head, mild aroma of fresh citrus. And maybe pear. Translucent amber in colour. Heavily carbonated. Very hoppy - bitter. Malty sweetness on the palate as it warms. Surprisingly refreshing. Great. Similar to Mill Street’s Tankhouse Ale (only sweeter). CanadaCam (109), Canada Jul 30, 2006 Pours with a nice head, has bitter-sweet tinge to it which is nice. An all around good beer. TheOrange (405), Kent, Ohio, USA Jul 15, 2006 Pale yellow pour with a very generous foamy white head. The thing that stood out most about this beer was the generous carbonation. A mark against it in my book. The flavor is mostly on the hoppy side, although not as hoppy as an English ale should be. This is ok. bubbleflubber (885), Collinsville, Virginia, USA Jul 13, 2006 Bottled as "English Ale"... Skunky hops with a "tad" of caramel to the nose... Pours a light orange-amber into the glass with small head, good retention and decent lace. This beer is quite dry, as the dry-hopped flavor lets in very few hues, but the ones that creep in are of slight lemon-citrus and maybe a hint of malt. Lingering dry-hopped finish allows for a long bitterness, some skunk to it as well. The beer has a light, fruity body to it. It does open up a little as it warms (a little more malt, caramel and sweet citrus), but not enough to pull the brew up very far. I’m not the greatest fan of this, as it seems quite unilateral. Unilateral can be fine if the whole is enjoyable, but this is a bit hard to fathom as a widely-accepted fave. mcnally (114), Burbank, California, USA Jul 13, 2006 Called English Ale on the label. I wasn’t into this beer much at all. Maybe I had a bad bottle, but aroma was fairly skunky with some hops. Decent pour, orange gold with a sudsy head. Slightly sweet taste with a surprising amount of hops, especially in the finish. Good mouthfeel. wxman (582), O’Fallon, Illinois, USA Jul 11, 2006 English Ale label. Golden color with a big eggwhite like head. Aroma is sweet candy and hop flower. Carmelized malt flavor with a fairly big hop flavor along with notes of maple syrup and grapefruit. Pretty decent brew, but pricey for what you get. ratman197 (3137), Arvada, Colorado, USA Jul 7, 2006 12 oz flask shaped bottle poured a clear golden amber with a small short lived white head. Aromas of bread, grain and light citrus. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of cereal,carmel, light fruitiness and a bit of toffee with a dry lightly sweet finish. Tmoney99 (4652), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Jun 11, 2006 Bottle with name English Ale. Golden color with an average rocky white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Good well balanced hop and malt aroma. Light body. Medium balanced malt and hop flavor with a small bitter finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable brew.
