| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 9/20 | Dec 22, 2007 500 ml bottle. I tried it in 2006. By the reviews this is one that you either like or don’t like. I’m of the latter opinion. It poured a nice amber brown with a beige head. The taste had a little caramel in it but it was pungent and hoppy. It diid not appeal to me and did not taste like an English Bitter, which is one of my favorite styles. I expect won’t buy it again.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Dec 22, 2007 50cl bottle. very nice packaging. deep amber color, ugly yellow small head. medium carbonation. smell and flavor of nutty light roasted malts and quite yeasty. surprisingly simple and shallow. reminds me of basic brown home brew.
good texture. very disappointing, since the branding is just to my likings and hints to a much more complex beer. PhillyHomeBrew (176), Forest Hills, New York, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 8, 2007 Pint bottle. I generally like the English Ales, and this is no exception. I noted some mentioned it was pretty bitter, but after having a stout and a porter that were quite bitter, this didn’t seem so bad. Deep ruby color, white head that quickly disappeared, hint of caramel, and an aroma that strikes me as English Tea. Not bad at all. badnloose (99), North Hollywood, California, USA
