biilz (2297) - SPAIN - SEP 10, 2022
UPDATED: SEP 10, 2022 Аромат английский по хорошему, легкая жженка от солода, немного карамели, намеки на хлебную корочку, причем черного хлеба. Цвет полу темный, пенка средняя, не долгая. Вкус тоже достаточно ровный и питкий. Снова легкая карамелька, жженый солод, как будто хлеб слегка поджарили. При глотке немного ноток от хмеля и травянистости, но не горечи а скорее легкой сухости. В целом хорошо.

PellicleScout54 (69) - West Yorkshire, ENGLAND - AUG 8, 2021
UPDATED: AUG 8, 2021 Poured from 500ml can at 3.5% abv. Aroma: Brown bready malt, raisins, other dried fruit, some caramel and biscuit. Appearance: Pours rich brown coloured with medium, frothy beige head and moderate-high carbonation. Taste: Dark fruits, bready malts, some toasted flavours, a bit of hop bitterness. Refreshing bitterness to start off, slightly sweet aftertaste. Not bad. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied ale with creamy head and fairly high carbonation, slight syrupy sweetness at the end. Overall: Good mild ale, well balanced flavour and goes down smooth. Nice and fully flavoured for the price and low abv. Enjoyable.

Banksiz (292) - Sacramento, California, USA - FEB 28, 2017
Faint plum-molasses nose. Some apple notes with hints of pineapple and apricot as it warms up and breathes. Medium-light body, but with no wateriness. Flavor sweet with an overlay of bitterness. Fantastic mild with excellent flavor for a 3.5% beer.
