Slayer85 (582), Firenze, Italy Nov 21, 2006 500 ml can. Red colour, enormous rocky and creamy head. The aroma is of malt with a light citrusy note. Medium bitterness, balnce between malt and hops, and a metallic feeling, surely for the can. Not outstanding, but a nice ale, easy to drink and refreshing. English ales are always nice to drink. Borup (1345), Albertslund, Denmark Nov 17, 2006 Can. Dark amber colour with a small off white head. Aroma and flavour of fruit, amlt and hops. HomeBrewed (4), Australian, Norway does not count Nov 17, 2006 500ml can. (30 NOK) Nice color and head retention. Aroma strong. Hops prevalent and pleasant bitter finish. yarry (370), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada Nov 14, 2006 568ml bottle, 5.2% a/v
Pours darker then expected, a very deep nutty brown colour. The head is also brown,, with some fine lacing on the bottle. The smell is caramel, citrus and a nice hop kick. The taste consisting of much the same. The crisp hop finish is fantastic and this beer goes down well. Something to drink with the lads. mgermani (862), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Nov 14, 2006 Poured a dark amber-red with a silky but small head. Once the sour carbon flavour dissipated, aromas of caramel and amber malt, and some faint hops. Taste very difficult to pin down: fruity, almost red-delicious apple-like taste, probably the hops. Pale malt very present, but it must get its colour from some other malting, but it’s hard to taste. Perhaps a bit of amber? Carbonation a bit strong - sort of a gassy beer. Pleasant malt aftertaste lingers a nice long while. Overall, very drinkable, probably will buy again, if only to identify the more mysterious flavours. Not a favourite, but intriguing all the same. fonefan (10868), VestJylland, Denmark Nov 12, 2006 Bottle. Clear copper color with a off-white head. Aroma is weak, but fruity and malty with some hops. Fruity, citrus like flavor with malt and some caramel. Thin body but it’s hop-dominated, lightly dry finish. Englander1986 (51), Middlesbrough, England Nov 8, 2006 A really nice bitter, suprisingly, since its not all that popular. Decent amount for a decent price, deffinately worth a try. Illuminatus (87), Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Nov 5, 2006 Updated: Mar 24, 2008568mL bottle from the LCBO. Pours dark amber, with a good head. Malty, (just a touch sweet), with a solid blast of hops. Carbonation is on the low side of what I like. Really a great beer. Stands on it’s own, or excellent with food. Try it. You’ll like it.
