St George's Ale is a dragon slayer of a brew. Its deliciously smooth, full flavoured and powerful hoppy aroma make it a full bodied English beer that would ward off the most ferocious of fire-breathing legends.

bottle - Pours hazy copper with a medium sized head and a little lacing. It has a light hop aroma. The flavor is a nice caramel malt and hops balance. Medium bodied and easy to drink, I enjoyed this one.

Biggish shiny creamy offwhite head. Hazy dark orange body. Light, acidic aroma. Taste is acidic lemony hops with a soft body and notes of honey. Dryish aftertaste. Good. It’s really the hops that make this one. (0.5l bottle.)

500 ml bottle, "Best Before 1 Feb 07." Retired? I’d best get the imports while they’re still here. This one gushered when I popped it, but not too much. Poured a rich copper color with little head. My nose is too stuffy to catch the smell, just light beeriness. Taste is nicely malted, a touch of ale fruitiness and hops only there for a bit of sharpness. Notes of vanilla give it a kind of cream soda texture. Slightly medicinal, but this may be an "off" bottle. Not spectacular, but it’s just fun to drink.

Bottle: pours a billiant copper colour with a caramel head which falls back quickly into elegant lacing;the nose doesn’t give much away, just a touch of yeast and malt, but it explodes in the mouth with a combination of richly roasted malt and honey, with a clean aftertaste.

Poured a copper color with orsnge hues with a foamy, lacing slightly off white head. Yeasty, grainy, malty aroma. Delicious flavor, vanilla, brown sugar, a touch of citrus and honey. Warming in the mouth and slightly oily. I found this to be very refreshing and fun to drink.

Golden amber body with a one finger high head that is more bubbly than foamy. Aromas are sweet, of apple juice and caramel with a little bit of coriander mixed in. Flavor picks up on apple juice and caramel sweetness with a little bit of an earthy finish that has a touch of peat and coriander spicing that balances the beer out well. That said, it is doesn’t drive towards any spectacular or complex flavorings or innovative mixings.
