PhillyBeer2112 (2084), Orange Park, Florida, USA Jan 14, 2006 Bleh. The pale green glass scared me, and I watched this on the shelves for weeks before I worked up the nerve to buy one. No surprises here, skunky dunky! A slight aroma of that classic caramelly british malt underneath. Fortunately, the mercaptans were weak on the palate, but still provided an astringency of sorts. Hints of the earthy caramel malts, and even less of a spicy hop. Nice looking though, an orangey amber with a good tight head. mnurda (434), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Jan 11, 2006 Really liked this beer. Great tasting. Great bottle. Gald to have it in Manitoba. Woohoo. bluevegie (2169), Perth, Australia Jan 9, 2006 Very light copper coloured body with a poor head. Poor head retention and some faint wisps of lacing. Thin body, citrus in both the aroma and taste with some caramel filling it out, but not by much, a little bit herbal and a bit too watery. Easy enough to drink but no real characters in this beer to make it very memorable. JK (2946), Richfield, Minnesota, USA Jan 7, 2006 Light hops in the aroma. A light brown, lightly carbonated beer. Lots of pepper in the light flavor. Not much there. Likerighteous (120), Pflugerville, Texas, USA Jan 7, 2006 Cool bottle = extra points! Not as hoppy as I like my ales, but then it’s an English, OK fine. Medium head pushed the malts all up in my brain, and finished kinda’ nutty. "Organic " I could care less about ( I mean it’s only the hops that are organic here) and this did not weigh in when I made the choice. Pleasant brew that I’ll buy again. oldrtybastrd (1801), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA Jan 6, 2006 From dhrjericho, labeled as St. Peter’s English Ale. Pours a hazy orangish amber color. Aromas of mild hops, a touch of malt. Smells almost like elmer’s glue. Flavor is mild malt with citrus like hops. Light body, kind of watery. Short dry finish with a metallic aftertaste. bu11zeye (5430), Frisco, Texas, USA Jan 2, 2006 (Bottle) Pours a golden body with a small creamy white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, and florals. Flavor of malt and hops with a bitter finish. dkoonce (880), People’s Republic of Athens, Ohio, USA Dec 28, 2005 Coudy with a slight skunk aroma. Almost no head with large bubbles that dissipated quickly. Rather flat with little taste or body. The most unusualy thing about this beer is the bottle.
