oldrtybastrd (1801), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA Mar 13, 2006 Pours a nice dark golden amber color with a small head. Aromas of roast malts, hops, and a touch of some pepper or spice. Flavors of malts and hops, this one is bitter and dry. DuffMan (2721), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada Feb 27, 2006 Orange amber, thin beige head. Caramel malt and floral aromas. Moderately sweet, smooth, pleasant floral hoppiness on top of lightly roasted malt. I liked this one-- like a very tame version of a Little Creatures Pale Ale.

A fully diminushing small fizzy white head that tops up a clear light orange body. No lacing. No particules. No bubbles. Aroma presents malt being light toasted and very faint caramel while hops are light flowers Yeast character is light . Initial flavor is lighty acidic while development is lighty saltay. Finish is short . Light body... watery texture... Flat carbonation... I have an impression of Premium Plus crackers..... Geez i *need* something good.......... pacman (9), muncie, Indiana, USA does not count Feb 22, 2006 dark gold to light copper in color. Slightly hazy with little head. aroma is sweet and malty with a bit of fruitiness. A bit of citruous hoppiness is there as well. Sweet caramelly, biscuity maltiness up front quickly followed by a good hop bitterness that fades away. A slight sweet toasty flavor lingers in the aftertaste. Medium body with a meidum high carbonation. A little more carb than I would like. Overall and very drinkable beer. I would definitely buy this again. henry3r (586), Wichita, Kansas, USA Feb 21, 2006 The bottle poured a slightly hazy amber colored beverage with a small off-white head that was mostly lasting and left good lacing on the glass. The aroma had a wonderful malt sweetness to it. There were ripe banana and other fresh fruits present. There didn’t seem to be much hop aroma though. The body was medium-full with a smooth carbonation and creamy smooth texture. The flavor started off slightly sweet with a bitter edge in the background. The finish was long and the bitterness grew gradually throughout as the sweetness fell away. Reid (1085), Salem, Oregon, USA Feb 21, 2006 I love ther packaging of this ale..nice bottle and a cool label.
Good typical English aroma profile, very malty with some nice hopping in the back.
light amber in appearance with a small splotchy off white head.
taste is quintessentially (sp) English malty and nutty in character , some hints of pipe tobbacco also.
ok mouthfeel nothing too exciting but not too bad. Very drinkable..nice ale slightly underrated on here IMO. JHunter (242), British Columbia, Canada Feb 5, 2006 Updated: Aug 18, 2006has a dark yellow color witha small head. a hoppy smell. the body was a little thin and a bit watery but a smooth taste and enjoyable smell. MiP (8793), Sønderborg, Denmark Jan 31, 2006 Bottle. Hoppy aroma, grass, sweet fruit. Almost clear copper colour, small head. Watery flavour. Some sweet hoppiness. Aftertaste is nice and fruity. Medium bitterness. Nice for a bottled bitter.
