Clear red color with a decent head. Nutty brown aroma. Taste is bland with a bitter aftertaste.

Bottle. Medium sized frothy, fizzy tan head that mostly diminished, spotty amounts of lacing, transparent, carbonation observed, and an orange-reddish hue. Nose was malty, mildly hoppy and a hint of toffee. Ditto for the flavor without any hint of toffee. Tingly mouthfeel and medium in body. Easy drinking beer, has English character to it and decent for the style.

A nut brown pour, with a large bone head that last. I mean this thing is loaded with foam. It has a complex aroma with small hints of everything from sugar, caramel, toffee, sweet malt and hops. The flavor starts off dominated by the sweet malt, then the bitterness comes out and finishes with the caramel. It has a little sticky mouthfeel and consistency, which is, of course, a put off. Pretty good for the style overall.

Bottle: Semi dark brown pour. Very thin head. Scent of caramel. Nice flavor to it mixture of caramel and cream. Light aftertaste.

Thin, fine off white head. Malty smell with a subtle hop undertone. Medium mouth feel with a fully malty flavor and medium bitterness. Slightly bitter but clean finish.

Exactly what you expect from an English Bitter. Dark copper colour with a decent off-white head. Nice balance of Hops, with a slightly fruity taste and creamy mouth feel. Carbonation helps give it a nice dry, clean finish. Nothing amazing, but a solid beer that I will definitely drink again.

Pours a rich garnet to copper color with firm rich tan head. Some spice starts the aroma, with mild fruity esters, and a good dash of rye bread crust to finish it off. Flavor is more rye bread crusts with nice fruity roundness as well. Feels medium creamy in the mouth, very pleasant. I think this is a somewhat underrated session beer that I’d be happy to drink any time.

Yeasty malty aroma with a gorgeous head. Reddish brown in color, it has a crisp malt taste with a crusty bread aftertaste. Nice and bubbly on the palate, overall a solid brew.
