pintbypint (1985) - Edmonton, Alberta, - JUL 28, 2004
Tasted from 500ml light green bottle. Pours light orange. White head was thin but left a lot of lacing in the glass. Skunky/grassy hop aroma prevails with some malt aroma. Smooth mouthfeel, low carbonation. More grassy hop bitterness in the finish along with a slight iron or metallic taste. Finish is long and lingereing.

DavoleBomb (1444) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 25, 2013
Poured into a perfect pint. Cool old-timey medicine bottle that is unfortunately green. 3.0 A: Lightly hazed light orange color. Not quite one finger of frothy white head. Retention is about average and a very short ring of lacing is left. 3.5 S: Earthy and minerally with a dry crackery and grainy maltiness. Little bit of toastiness. Grassy and earthy hops. Mild yeastiness. Pretty standard for the style, which is good enough for me. 3.5 T: Taste is like the nose. Earth and mineral. Dry, light toastiness, cracker and grainy malts. Mild yeast, mild-moderate bitterness, grassy hoppiness. 3.5 M: Lighter medium body. Good moderate carbonation. Crisp and dry and smooth. 3.5 D: Decent beer that has no faults.

jcos (1176) - Maryland, USA - MAY 9, 2013
Location/Date:Bottle on May 8th, 2013.

Appearance: Pours a clear orange.
Aroma: Aroma is sweet, nearly like a biscuit.
Taste: Faint bitter, light butter, biscuit.
Palate:Light body.

Summary: This beer is okay - I’m unsure if the bottle was stored properly, or if I’m not looking for the right notes.

Viper666 (2708) - Saint-Hubert, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 6, 2013
Bouteille 500ml sous le nom "St Peter’s English Ale". De couleur orangée et voilée. Nez légèrement fruité (agrumes), de grains de malt, léger de houblon floral et herbeux. Moyenne-mince en bouche et peu pétillante avec une texture aux petites notes huileuses. Goût légèrement fruité (agrumes, traces de pommes et d’abricots) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût malté légèrement sucré du genre caramel très doux avec des notes de pain et de grains. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve un goût légèrement amer de houblon floral aux notes herbeuses. Post-goût moyen, légèrement amer de houblon floral aux notes herbeuses avec des traces fruitées (zeste d’agrumes). (2006)

jamestulloch (478) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - APR 15, 2013
Aroma: Metal, grain, honey and a light peppery spice.

Appearance: Clear golden body with a thin white head. Average carbonation. Very light lacing.

Taste: Like the aroma - metal, bread and grain. Caramel and citrus hints. Nice hop bitterness but lacking in character and flavour.

Palate: Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft carbonation.

Overall: Tastes somewhere in between a Pilsner and a Pale Ale. Unfortunately it’s watery and a bit dull - not one I’d have again.

Grzesiek79 (2365) - Radom, POLAND - APR 3, 2013
UPDATED: APR 4, 2013 Dość wyraziste w smaku tresciwe i goryczkowe to organiczne ale. Piana mala ale jakos sie trzyma. Przewazaja, a wlasciwie wystepuja tu tylko nuty chmielowe, zarowno w smaku jak i zapachu. Czyli tak jak przystalo na dobrego bittera. Dodatkowy plus za ekologiczne surowce.

Frothmeister (385) - Ontario, CANADA - MAR 28, 2013
500ml bottle. Pours a clear light orange, with a good sized foamy white head. A pretty pint. Nose is caramel/golden syrup notes, metallic/mineral notes, faint spearmint, and malt. The taste is light caramel followed by a clean hard water note, malt, and a better than average amount of metallic hops. It’s simple, and effective. Makes me think of a Austrian lager with some caramel thrown in.
