Is it unfiltered, I wonder, as I watch the pour, cloudy, and a dark amber hue, with a small, vanishing white head. Aroma is coppery, dry, herbal, and very low in the hop department. Malt is just-right, and finish is very brief.
This seems to be in the fine, upstanding tradition of bland, forgettable English ales. The touch of sweetness reminds me more of the Irish style, though.

Could be a tad sweeter as a nice balance, but works for me as an ale. I liked it. HighGravity (890), Baltimore, Maryland, USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Sep 6, 2004 The beer was a high clarity light brown/gold color with a head that faded fast. Smelled slightly of fruit and something dusty. when I tasted the beer it reminded me of the way I feel about my ex...bitter as hell. BBB63 (4228), La Porte, Indiana, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 5, 2004 Bottle labeled English Ale and organically grown: The pour displays a golden hue with a fading fizzy head and little lace. The aroma has notes of lemongrass, acidic and floral hops, apple and juniper berry, and dusty yeast esters. The taste is straight forward bitters with a citric undertone. Floral and grassy tones throughout. Crisp and lively enough to be a summer session brew. Enjoyable enough without much depth of palate. Almost Pils like in character despite not being a lager.
