SimonB (65), Geneva, Switzerland Dec 13, 2004 Very hoppy floral aroma, inviting... In my mouth, lack the expected hop flavor from the aroma. A bit of light malt tone, a tiny bitterness. Not that bad but was disapointed with the lack of hops in the flavor. Will need to re-taste this at some time to give another chance. PrimeMinister (138), Quebec, Canada Dec 12, 2004 Low carbonation, almost no head with clear blond to orange color. Aroma seems hoppy at first but the beer also exhales sweet malt. The taste is one of a classic pale ale. There is fine bitterness, fine balance between malt and hops. Overall a great ale. skortila (2880), Bunnik, Netherlands Dec 12, 2004 Floral and hoppy nose. Clear, golden/orange coloured with a lasting, white head. Taste is sweet, floral hoppy, roasted malts. It even has a little smoked touch. Becomes quite bitter in the finish. Decent brewed ale. caesar (3020), Bunnik/Utrecht, Netherlands Dec 12, 2004 Clear yellow color, short white head. Very strong aroma of sharp and sweet hops, almost vegetable like. Taste is sweet bitter, bit malty. Very odd brew. beerinmarch (2781), Alabama, USA Nov 27, 2004 Pours amber/gold with a very small white head that falls fast. Very light on the carbonation, but still very smooth and crisp. This brew had a bit of skunkiness to it. Aroma was floral hopped with not much malt. Taste started skunky malt with a floral hop finish, a bit of citrus and some toffee. The finish on this brew was almost a bit salty tasting. FezMonkey (268), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Nov 27, 2004 light golden color with very little head. Mild flavor with a slight bitter aftertaste. ChrisPants (317), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Nov 23, 2004 Flavor is subtle, and not especially fantastic. Light carbonation, dry, and brown-golden color are hidden inside the fantastic green glassware. Buy it for the bottle. Cobra (1060), In a van, down by the river, Maryland, USA Nov 11, 2004 16.9 oz. / 500 ml. green medicine bottle.
No freshness date seen anywhere. Poured out a yellow / orangish color, with no head, and no carbonation.
Aromas are of sugars, mostly. Tastes thin, watery, and has very little actual flavor. If this is what they drink in England, I’ll pass.
