Floback (231), N-town, Florida, USA Aug 7, 2008 On tap at the English Pub in Naples, FL. Dark amber color with a tiny off-white head. Fruity aroma. Flavors include wheat, subtle piney hops, subtle berries, mostly malts, and a coppery aftertaste. Medium body and low carbonation. Very smooth and easy to drink. Not complex, but a good session beer. alari (29), London, England Aug 7, 2008 Aroma is malty and fruity. Pours a rich ruddy brown-colour. Very crisp at the front but malty at the back of the mouth with a deep satisfying aftertaste that grows gradually more bitter. Toasted and caramel flavours abound. Not over-hopped, and with a solid body and balanced carbonation. Well worth the £1.33 - but I would agree that $5 would be steep indeed..
pope_phred (82), Plainfield, Illinois, USA Aug 7, 2008 Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a dark, red-brown body topped with a small head of off-white foam. Aroma is musty, slightly dirt-like, nothing to write home about. This is sligtly watery, bitter and sweet. Palate has a roasted sweet maltiness and is alright. Overall this is a well-balanced brew that is easily drinkable, with a hint of roated bitter aftertaste. Not bad, but not worth the $5 for the pint bottle I purchased. Fyrdraca (9), Macon, Georgia, USA does not count Aug 6, 2008 This beer pours a ruddy shade of brown with a fleeting, diminutive head. It’s a bit malty for me, but not overboard. Kind of a roasty flavor that goes okay with its maltiness, but that’s the only particular about this one. It’s decent, but not outstanding. cluny6 (48), Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England Aug 5, 2008 dark crimson red/ Small head that quicjkly vanishes. Malty aroma. Very fruity, few hops. c+
