AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20Pleasant woody/fruity aroma--light hoppiness...Color is a glowing orange/bronze with a moderately light head but nice lattice-work lace. Flavor features a sweet malt front followed by mild hop bitterness and fruity overtones. Carbonation is mild, but its effervescent feel is courtesy of the mineral-rich brewing water that make Burton ales distinctive...Finish carries a touch of the intitial sweetness along with a mouth-filling mild dryness. This is medium-bodied with good balance and mouthfeel---mellow but flavorful...quite enjoyable...

UPDATED: OCT 16, 2020 Aroma : Toasted toffee maltiness, hints of peach & vanilla, a touch of spice and earth. Taste : Flavour is over-ridingly a very gently sweet malty toffee. Not horrible, but just a tad one-dimensional
3.1
UPDATED: SEP 7, 2020 Bottle from Beers Of Europe.
Appearance - deep amber to brown. Off white head.
Nose - caramel and cake generally. A hint of orange if you really search it out.
Taste - mainly caramel.
Palate - close to medium bodied. Creamy texture, the finish could be fresher.
Overall - a bit on the sweet side. Would like some more biscuit bitterness.

UPDATED: SEP 1, 2020 Bottle from Lidl
Boring, isn't it? Surprising apple feel, that I didn't expect with this mass prod. Meh
3.2
UPDATED: AUG 6, 2020 Historical tick which I am adding as a rate so that I can see the impact it has on my stats. 500 Beers To Try Before You Die. Waitrose, West Byfleet. Standard stuff.
2.4
UPDATED: JUL 12, 2020 Bottle via Lidl, SK. Mostly malty, dull caramel, metallc. Med-thin body, med-low carbonation. Watery, not much good going on. Meh.
1.7
UPDATED: NOV 16, 2019 Nothing but cabbage and tin on the nose, has weak foam on a medium clear copper body. Flavour is boozy tin and caramel. Lingering adjuncts on the mouth. This is pretty substandard, even for a macro amber.
