Dec 14, 2008 Poured from bottle. Aroma gassy at first, settles down to malt and weedy smell. Poured with big soapy bubbles which disappeared leaving minimal head. Medium amber. Decent flavor with malt balanced by bitter hops. Has nice feel to it as well. Just right amount of carbonation. Got a bit offensive toward the end. Good overall.

Dec 5, 2008 Why they ship across the Atlantic in green bottles is beyond me. Would have been nice except it got skunked on the way across the pond. Has a nice bitter bite ending on biscuit flavors.

Nov 20, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, copper body with a full, frothy, white head.
Smell: Grassy, flowery hop aroma upfront with some meager malt hints smelling lightly of caramel and day old Cuban bread in back.
Taste: Pale maltiness with light tastes of grainy bread and caramel. Faint fruitiness. Grassy, floral hops with a medium, cleansing bitterness. Hops dominate the finish and leave you with a slight lingering bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Paired well with the 1925 film version of The Phantom of the Opera. A fine, flavorful English ale.

Nov 18, 2008 500 ml bottle, bought at Vaaland Spesialbutikken, Bryne. ABV is 4.5%. Deep golden to brown colour, moderate carbonation, low head. Nice aroma of fruity hops. Well balanced flavour with distinct fruity hops on a sufficient malty base, and a grapefruity bitterness in the finish. Good beer!
