KyotoLefty (64), Kyoto, Japan Aug 29, 2008 500ml can bought in Toronto.
Deep amber color, low head but huge carbonation. Nice color, too spritzy. Spicy aroma of caramel malt, slightly nutty, toffee. Decent malt flavor, caramel, molasses, grains, slightly grassy and spicy. Simple. Low in hops. Rather boring all-in-all, though not un-enjoyable. Muggus69 (209), Sydney, Australia Aug 8, 2008 500ml bottle, BB 4 Jul 08...dang! Deep reddish copper body, clear with a slight whisp of offwhite head. Typical sort of English bitter nose; sweet toffee malt, mildly roasted grain/nutiness, earthy grassy hops, bread and subtle dark fruits. Reasonably lean body, light prickly carbonation, texture the slightest bit sticky with a hit of bitterness coming through well after the finish. Grainy Caramel malt body, not too sweet, hint of leafy hop and plum fruits, finishes quite smoothly with a hint of bread. Average sort of bitter, better fresh and off cask I could imagine. oh6gdx (5857), Vaasa, Finland Aug 5, 2008 Bottled. Amber colour, small beige creamy head. Aroma is fruits, sour wood, some earth and dry fruits. Flavour is hops, some caramel and mild notes of herbs. KimJohansen (3171), Copenhagen V, Denmark Aug 4, 2008 Clear amber with medium white head. Sweet fruity aroma with caramel, malt and floral hops. Sweet malty flavor with hinst of caramel and hops finishing it bitter. greenmanalishi (202), Leicestershire, England Jul 11, 2008 Pours dark amber with a small white head. maltiness, bitter and dry mouthfeel which is thin and too short. disappointing overall.
